Your quick solution is for everyone wishing to access the full text
of an IP-address-protected journal to switch off proxy caching in
their browser.
In Netscape Navigator/Communicator, go to: Edit, Preferences, Advanced &
Proxies, and click the "Direct Connection to the Internet" radio button.
In MS Internet Explorer, go to: Tools, Internet Options, Connection &
LAN Setting, and clear the box "Use a Proxy Server".
It is good to remember to cancel these settings after use, by
clicking "Manual proxy configuration" or ticking "Use a Proxy Server"
respectively.
We have been using this approach for several years. I am surprised
that you previously managed to access IP-protected journals without
it.
I would be glad to hear any alternative suggestions.
