Too my knowledge I do not use a proxy.

To date, I have downgraded my kernel to the 2.4 series - that did not work.

I have installed the latest devel version - that did not work.

I have downgraded my firewall - shorewall - to 2.2.4 - this did not work.

I have installed clam onto mandriva - this did work as freshclam now works.

So it is something specific to slackware but what I do not know.

I have resorted to manually downloading for slack.  That worked.  And 
freshclam now reports that everying is up to date.
