Network Settings Schema

Network settings specify how the .NET Framework connects to the Internet and handles web addresses. Network settings exist under two child configuration elements:

Element	Description
<system.net> Element (Network Settings)	Contains settings that specify how the .NET Framework connects to the network.
<uri> Element (Uri Settings)	Contains settings that specify how the .NET Framework handles web addresses expressed using uniform resource identifiers (URIs).

The <system.net> settings specify how the .NET Framework connects to the network. The following table describes the function of each child configuration element under the <system.net> Element (Network Settings).

Element	Description
<authenticationModules> Element (Network Settings)	Specifies the modules used to authenticate Internet requests.
<connectionManagement> Element (Network Settings)	Specifies the maximum number of connections to Internet hosts.
<defaultProxy> Element (Network Settings)	Specifies the proxy server used for HTTP requests to the Internet.
<mailSettings> Element (Network Settings)	Contains settings for mail sending options.
<requestCaching> Element (Network Settings)	Specifies the modules used to request information from Internet hosts.
<requestCaching> Element (Network Settings)	Configures basic network options for the System.Net namespace.
<webRequestModules> Element (Network Settings)	Specifies modules to use to request information from network hosts.

The <uri> settings specify how the .NET Framework handles web addresses expressed using uniform resource identifiers (URIs). The following table describes the function of each child configuration element under the <uri> Element (Uri Settings).

Element	Description
<idn> Element (Uri Settings)	Specifies if Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) parsing is applied to domain names.
