I've never had much luck with MDK's internet connection wizards, I find it easier to configure by hand. There are various places where to configure the proxy.

For Mozilla, you go to the Edit->Preferences->Advanced->proxy and specify there the name and port of the proxy. I guess there's something similar for Galeon/Konqueror etc.

For command line programs like wget/lftp you set up some shell environment variables, like

ftp_proxy=http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@proxy.name:<port number>

(my proxy allows only ftp over http, that's why I have http there). You can put these entries in your .bashrc configuration file. I can be more precise if you need.
