A nice day,

i tried to connect dsl through a proxy and changed the bash_profile in that way:

export http_proxy='192.168.0.2:8080'
export ftp_proxy=`192.168.0.2:8080'

But it doesnot function.

The connection is o.k. i checked it with ping. Firefox runs well after setting the proxy. But mydsl does not go.

Perhaps you have a solution for me, i would be very glad.

Greetings
Bernhard

There are other methods to downloads the MyDSL extensions besides the GUI on Desktop. Here:

:8080

It may be that the proxy server blocks http connections from wget.
Try to open a console and download something with wget.
Also try to point the dsl sources to ftp.

try adding a trailing / to the line - it's what some programs require - i.e.

export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.2:8080/

Just a guess...
