One way to access the internet if the proxy is on another machine is to export the env variable http_proxy=<ip of the proxy:specify any port other than default>

Only for things that check for that variable. Firefox has a proxy-setting dialog box that you have to fill in....Konqueror uses the proxy settings for KDE...
