[newbie] proxies

[Yoppy Hidayanto]

Hello..

When I want ot setup my netscape proxy
I put the name and the port number
which I also use in my windoze (and it works).
But in linux, I got the response:
FTP proxy host "my proxy" is unknown..

where should I put my proxy on /etc (or what?)
to make netscape recognize it?

T.I.A.

 I have found this problem too.
 IMHO there are two methods:
 1.  If you are on a local network, you must configure this first. If
 Netscape dont see LAN, it will give this message again.
 2.  If you have a ppp account, then make online connection to your ISP,
 after you can set up proxies in Netscape. I am newbie too. Maybe not my
 suggestion is the best, but it was OK on my linux-box at home and at my
 work.
 
hey thanks.. it works!
but I still curious.. is there another way?

 I hope didn't wrote stupid things...
no you don't :)
