Does your school use a proxy server or is it that all clients get a dhcp address? Do you need to authenticate to the network to get shares and access?

i need to authenticate. i'm not sure if it uses a proxy i think so but i'm unsure. i know that all you need to do with win xp is put in the computer name and the HTTP port

Which browser? In Mozilla, for example, (since it sounds like you have a proxy server set up) you would go Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced --> Proxies --> Manual Proxy Configuration and then fill in the server and port details. Very similar to IE.

Under windows at work, I got Firefox to connect to the net by making my log on password (lan logon) and proxy server password the same. Have you tried that?
