Finding PPPoE settings

Many ISPs use Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)

because it is easy to integrate with a dial-up infrastructure. If your

ISP uses PPPoE to assign IP addresses, you must get more informa-

tion.

Disabling the HTTP Proxy Setting

Many Web browsers are configured to use an HTTP proxy server. A

proxy server is a computer that your browser connects to help speed

up the download of Web pages. To manage the Firebox® X Edge,

your computer must connect to the Edge configuration pages

directly without a proxy. To do this, you must temporarily disable

the HTTP proxy setting in your browser.

You can use these instructions to disable the HTTP proxy in

Netscape or Internet Explorer. If you are using a different browser,

use the browser Help system to find the necessary information.

Many browsers automatically disable the HTTP proxy feature.
