Linux to be authenticated from Win 2000?

sikandar · 09-27-2004, 12:03 AM

Hi All,
I have installed Linux AS 2.1 (RH) and assigned an IP address. Now what I want to do is to configure its browser with the windows 2000 proxy server. So where I may cofigure this so I will be able to use the Linux browser (Mozilla) for browsing. I have tried with SAMBA but things are not working. If I use dialup then things seem ok.

Thanks in advance to all.

What browser are you using?

It is Mozilla.

I think it's Tools > Options > General > Connection Settings

I know this but do you think without adding in the windows domain Linux will be to able to use its resources?

Hi Sikandar,
I have a similar setup at my place. I have Xp on one m/c connected to the net and i work on another m/c running fc2( had rh9 earlier). First of all both fc2 & rh9 do an eth0 check at startup if thats [ OK ] you've passed the first step. Now what you need to do is goto System Settings -> Network or Internet Config Wizard.
Here you'll see information about your eth0 device. Edit this device and enable 'Automatically get ip settings from dhcp'.
thats all you need to do.
Happy surfing.

Shouldn't the proxy server prompt for authentication in the absence of NTLM authentication?
Is it not doing so?
