Hi,

I am connecting to the net via a Windows WinProxy server.

Using Firefox is fine, just set the various proxies to the WinProxy proxy: 192.168.0.1 port 80.

The problem is with any terminal routines, eg: wget or apt-get.

On advice from this forum, I tried to set the proxy by:
env http_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:80 (I also tried env http_proxy=192.168.0.1:80)

When I ran (for example) 'dpkg-restore' it did not connect to the damnsmall site, just sat there.

Any help much appreciated.

Geoff.

For wget, try the following possible solution (I Do not know if this will work with the BusyBox version of wget):

Create a new file or edit your /home/damnsmall/.wgetrc file and add the following lines:

http_proxy = http://192.168.0.1:80/
use_proxy = on
wait = 15

For apt, try this:

Edit your /etc/apt/apt.conf file and add the following:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.0.1:80/";

Good Luck.
