Re: Safari Mail: network connection problems
Hi, Sounds very much like a proxy server using Windows NTLM auth. I suggest you find a copy of the python proxy on the net ( called aps098 ) and configure it to suit. This is what I use to navigate out of my windows-centric company. Firefox IE probably use their own proxy settings whereas Safari uses the System Preferences I haven't resolved the pop email question, I use webmail from my ISP to read my personal email if I have to. I figure you'd need to configure Entourage and have your mail admin allow smtp from your Mac to have mail in out working (and that's a bad thing from network admins security point of view) HTH Bryan On 23/08/2005, at 6:29 AM, Toga wrote: Hello to all from Jakarta, I've been reading this list for a few month now, and would like to ask your help for the following.

Re: Safari Mail: network connection problems
Sounds like there's a good chance that this might be one of those Windows Proxy servers from a few years ago. If that's the case, getting anything other than Windows clients to work with it will be a PITA, as they typically use some sort of winsock redirection. Evil evil stuff.

The tricky thing here is that SOME of its works but some does not. The webproxy thing sounds like it's the issue. Can you 'ping' ? Startup Terminal.app and type ping -c 5 www.apple.com and see what happens. What about iChat? It's a good network connection monitor. In Preferences Network, Location Automatic show Built-In Ethernet and then 'Proxies' ... is that where you configured it? Is /Applications/Utilities/Network Diagnostics something new in Tiger? If not, try that? TjL -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
