Hi Alex, Assuming you are running bash - define the following:
export http_proxy='http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port' Where user and password is the user name and password to get authenticated by the proxy (assuming it needs authentication), proxy-server is the name of the proxy and port is the TCP/IP port it listens on.

The message I get is that it cannot connect to some host. I am behind a proxy, but I don't know how to specify it in the console. Is there a way to do that? I believe it is some kind of environment variable, but which one and where can I find it? thank you. _____________________________________________________________ ֿמכףקטעו בוסןכאעם?י ןמקעמג?י כוךענמםם?י אהנוס [EMAIL PROTECTED] םא סאיעו <a href="http://www.armenia.ru">"ְנלוםט? ׂמקךא ׀ף"</a> - ֳכאגם?י ְנל?םסךטי ֿמנעאכ ג ׀ףֽועו. http://www.armenia.ru ====================== To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
