Are you using Navigator or Communicator? Either way, you are going to have to configure the cache preferences.

    In Navigator: under the Options pulldown menu select Network Preferences, then select the Cache tab, and edit your preferences from there.

    In Communicator: under the Edit menu select Preferences, then select Advanced, then select Cache and you can set it up from there.

    You may also want to concider using CSU's proxy server. It effectivly puts a cache file at CSU for you, saving most used pages/graphics/etc on a local machine so downloading frequently frequented pages takes less time. To do this:

    Navigator: Options -> Network Preferences -> Proxies tab -> Select 'Automatic Proxy Configuration' and enter "www.colostate.edu/proxy.pac" for the URL.

    Communicator: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies -> Select 'Automatic Proxy Configuration' and enter "www.colostate.edu/proxy.pac" for the URL.


peace
