Proxies?!?

Hatchmo · 04-25-2002, 03:35 PM

I just installed Linux Mandrake 8.2 yesterday and I am unable to connect to the internet through Linux. I am connected to a collegge LAN network. I attempted doing the autodetect option but that didn't work either, so I attempted the manual one. Only problem is, I don't know the HTTP and FTP proxies. How am I to go about getting those? Thanks!

those would probably help if your required to use the proxies to browse the web..

Well do you have any advice for me?

Well, easy... Since ure connecting tru a college LAN, try the college LAN ppl.
Else take over some M$ pc nearby and open up the proxy.pac file (if any) or find the settings in their browser.
And try to be a bit more creative ok.
