Unhappy problem with firefox and network connection


hello

i am facing an interesting problem. i have installed fedora x86_64 distro in a desktop. every time i start the computer and try to access the internet through firefox it shows "proxy server not found" to access internet every time when i open the computer i have activate the eth0 in network connection. secondly, i have to change the work ofline mode into online in firefox page. then only internet runs smoothly. i am not understanding why the network connection gets inactivated? and also why i have to change the work offline mode each and every time when i start the internet for first time after starting the computer?



please help me for this clueless problem.
