[newbie] Linux behind proxy
Hi people, i have installed Mandrake 9.2 and i need to use the internet access over the network. A server on the net is administrating the internet over a proxy server, and i wath to connect with it, but i can't find where to especify the port of connection. At the internet options there are an option to specifi the addresses for the http and ftp but there are no option to specify the port to use with it. Have some one any idea...??? tnx.

Re: [newbie] Linux behind proxy
If you use Mozilla, go to Edit-Preferences, and within the popup window of Preferences, click Advanced, then you will find option proxies among advanced options. Click it. Other web browser should be more or less the same. - Original Message - From: cdrack [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:21 PM Subject: [newbie] Linux behind proxy Hi people, i have installed Mandrake 9.2 and i need to use the internet access over the network.

Re: [newbie] Linux behind proxy
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. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi people, i have installed Mandrake 9.2 and i need to use the internet access over the network.
