1) That still doesn't explain why i don't have a problem with a proxy server in Yast, and a lot of other users here in Belgium who have a cable internet connections via a proxy don't have a problem also. 2) I'm not subscribed to this mailinglist to go to another forum, trying to find the problem of a user there, and discussed it here. So where did you define the proxy, works ftp and wget etc.

Hi Lester,
this is a known problem with YOU and should have been fixed with SuSE-8.0, however as you noticed it is still not easy.
He goes on to suggest apt, but I went with fou4s and have not bothered to switch back, but it is my understanding that if your 'dial out' connection is not on the machine that is using YOU then even in 8.0, the proxy problem had not been fixed last time a wasted time trying to set it up. -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
