ActiveState has some documentation on this at their site, but the environment variable you are probably looking for is HTTP_PROXY. Set it to the proxy server you use. I used to have to do this at my last job.

And I wanted to install some modules. So I gave the command PPM Search to look for the modules available. But then I get an error message saying there is difficulty in connecting to the URL. I guess i know what the problem is. It could be because we have a Proxy server. So what changes should i do to acheive ppm search successully. If i need to make changes in the environment variables (which environment variables are we talking about) how do i do it ?? I am working on a Windows NT 4.0. Please help me, i feel completely stuck. TIA, Cheers, manoj -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
