Some institutions provide off-site access via EZproxy. Please note that we cannot offer troubleshooting support for third party software.
However, the most common issue for institutions using this method is the absence of the valid IP address reaching our authentication system. This can be due to an incorrectly configured proxy server.
Ensure that your EZproxy stanza lists the correct URL for the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, which is:
https://hbcp.chemnetbase.com/
Please note the address does not include www, and the old address hbcponline.com will no longer work.
For any other support issue regarding access via EZproxy please contact your local EZproxy support desk.
Marvin JS does not support compatibility mode in Internet Explorer.
In most cases, you can switch on/off compatibility mode in IE. For versions 9 and 10 these settings can be reached from the Tools menu (ALT+T). For other IE versions, please visit the appropriate website.
Note that if all intranet sites are set to run in compatibility mode by default please consult with your system administrator.
