Firewalls/proxy servers
If your computer is behind a firewall and/or proxy server, it must be configured to allow download and installation of small ActiveX controls or browser plug-ins. This is required for both OneSite and for some of the items listed under "Third-party applications," above. The firewall and/or proxy server must also allow outbound connections over standard Internet ports 80, and 443, and must not block returns to those connections.

⁽¹⁾ Though the minimum requirements will allow you to run Apartment Market Reports, they are well below the standard computer configuration offered today.

⁽²⁾ All other "recommended" and "critical" updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com should be downloaded and installed, along with periodic checks for new updates.
