Hi guys, Finally, I have found the answer to my problem: "Acessing the Internet with a Potato box via MS Proxy Server 2.0".
Here it is:- MS Proxy Server basically allows 3 types of authentication, namely : Anonymous, Basic and NTLM (also known as NT challenge/response). The first speaks for itself. The send basically require the client to send a user name and password for authentication before access is allowed...however the user name and password sent is in clear text. And finally, NTLM require the client to send a user name and password, which is encrypted, before access is allowed. The MS Proxy Server which I am trying to authenticate before the Potato box is allowed access to the Net has been set to use NTLM authentication...and here is the bombshell....the only browser (AFAIK) which can authenticate using the NTLM "handshake" is MS IE...what do you know..talk about cornering corporate users into using nothing but MS IE.... So it looks like the only place where I can tinker with Linux and other *nix is at home..... Well, I am still hoping that someone knows of a way to authenticate the the MS Prxy Server using the NTLM "handshake" but not with MS IE.....
