  3. A window named Network will appear. Scroll down to the bottom of the Select a proxy server to configure box and check the box next to "Automatic Proxy Configuration"
  4. Enter the address http://proxy.ucla.edu/cgi/proxy into the URL box.

           

  1. Deselect Use passive FTP mode if it is selected.
  2. Click Apply Now.

You are now able to access UCLA restricted sites. A secure page will ask you to enter your UCLA Logon ID and password before proceeding to the site.
