The defined proxy server is indexed and saved to the list of proxy servers automatically. Later,

whenever you are creating other FTP connections, you can simply select a corresponding proxy

server in the list.

25.5 Internet links dialed on demand

If an on-demand dial-up link is used (see chapter

6.2

), consider specific behavior of this con-

nection type. If the network and/or the firewall are not configured correctly, the link may stay

hung-up even if the local network sends requests for Internet connection or it may be dialed

unintentionally.

Information provided in this chapter should help you understand the principle and behavior

of on-demand dial-ups and avoid such problems.

How demand dial works

First, the function of demand dial must be activated within the appropriate line (either perma-

nently or during a defined time period — see chapter

6.2

).

Second, there must be no default gateway in the operating system (no default gateway must

be defined for any network adapter). This condition does not apply to the dial-up line which is

used for the Internet connection — this line will be configured in accordance with information

provided by the ISP.
