    b plug the proxy server into an ethernet hub connected to the wan port on the internet firewall.

    2 configure the intranet settings.

    a click advanced, and then select the intranet tab.

    b in the add range box, enter the proxy server’s ip address.

    c select the specified address ranges are attached to the wan link radio button.

    d click update. see “specifying intranet settings” on page 113 for more information.
