To configure Web browser settings for Firewall
Client
In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click
Networks.
In the details pane, click the Networks tab, and then
select the applicable network.
On the Tasks tab, click Edit Selected
Network.
On the Firewall Client tab, select Enable Firewall
client support for this network, if the Web browser on the
Firewall client should use configuration information that is
contained in the specified automatic configuration script.
Select Automatically detect settings, if the client
computer should automatically attempt to find the ISA Server
computer.
Select Use automatic configuration script, if the Web
browser on the Firewall client computer should use configuration
information that is contained in the specified automatic
configuration script. If you select this option, specify one of the
following:
Use default URL. Specifies that the default client
configuration script will be used. During setup, ISA Server creates
a default URL that points to the location of the automatic
configuration script. This default configuration script will
automatically be available to the Web browser, so that you can
update all client Web browser settings without having to
reconfigure each individual Web browser.
Use custom URL. Specifies that a custom client
configuration script will be used. As an alternative to the default
configuration script, you can manually construct your own
configuration script. When the Web browser looks for the
configuration script, your custom script will be returned to the
browser.
Notes
To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to

Important
Click the Apply button in the details pane to save the
changes and update the ISA Server configuration.
The configuration script is created, based on options that you
specify on the Web Browser tab. The configuration script is
automatically made available to the Web browser on the Firewall
client, so that you can update all Web browser settings without
having to reconfigure each individual Web browser.
When Automatically detect settings is enabled, you can
configure the DNS or DHCP server to include Web Proxy Automatic
Discovery (WPAD). The Web Proxy client will use the WPAD feature to
automatically discover which ISA Server computer to use for Web
requests. This assures that roaming clients will always connect to
the appropriate ISA Server computer when logging on to the
Internet, reducing time-consuming adjustments. This is relevant
only to Internet Explorer 5 and later supporting
browsers.
