Proxy with NTLM Authentication in Console

I have a machine behind a proxy with NTLM authentication (a Windows Server). Configuring the proxy on Firefox works fine, it asks me for username and password but the console is unaware of the proxy and/or authentication wich prevents netpkg from working.

How do I configure this proxy and it's authentication to work from console? right now I can't even ping google from the console! while I can browse effortlessly with Firefox... :confused: :confused:

Note, that pinging != browsing.
The average proxy server will proxy your http and ftp protocols, but not much more - not even ssh. Certainly not ICMP (like ping). You would need a SOCKS server or a transparent proxy for that in most cases.

it's not only pinging...

Any suggestions?

http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ looks like a good candidate to overcome that 407 Error.
