disable border manager when hitting my own IP?

[loezy]

I write web applications in an office that runs Border Manager 4.7 on its network. Debugging is a normal part of the development process, and I rely on error messages to indicate the source of errors while I work. Unfortunately, Border Manager has a tendency to react to certain errors by replacing the error message with the Border Manager "Enhancing Your Internet Experience" screen. Without seeing the original error message I am stuck debugging blindly.

I'm writing and testing code directly on my own hard drive, which has a testing server loaded on it. I'm running ColdFusion 6.1 Developer's Edition on its own integrated web server, on Windows 2000.

Is there some way to tell Border Manager to relax and let the error message display when I'm running code on my own server? What's a good way around this problem? It's quite a headache. Thanks for any insights.

There is a away to stop this, unload the proxy server.

In your internet explorer setup, tell it to bypass the proxy for local addresses.

Or

create an entry in your hosts file to resolve the url of the test site to the internal IP address. Then just disable the usage of the proxy server in IE.

I've modified the hosts file to disable the local and since I'm using Mozilla 1.4 also set the no proxy for the local(127.0.0.1).
Unloading the proxy is not an option. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
