[newbie] proxies

2000-04-21 Thread 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.

I hope didn't wrote stupid things...

Best regards, Zolix

Pardon my intrusion, could one of you tell me how you set up your LAN?  Did
you let Mandrake configure that on install, or did you manually do it after
the install?  If manually, what procedure did you follow?

Thanks in advance, Mike
