Hi Suresh, I'm directing your mail back to the LUG list, because I can help you with the technical details, but I do not have an account with Etisalat myself and thus I have no glue what the settings are. > The hardware has been properly detected by Suse.

Since "http://proxy1.emirates.net.ae:8080/"; didn't work one could try just "proxy1.emirates.net.ae:8080" or even just "proxy1.emirates.net.ae" when the port can be set somewhere else. > Yet, when I start Firefox, it says "Your proxy > configurations are not correct."

Then `GET /` and then hit enter twice. When you get some sort of output, then it is your browser that needs different settings. Otherwise it is your ISDN: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ telnet proxy1.emirates.net.ae 8080 | Trying [proxy IP]... | Connected to [proxy IP]. | Escape character is '^]'. | GET / | | HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request | Server: squid/2.5.STABLE9 | Mime-Version: 1.0 | Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 06:38:04 GMT [...] BTW: I think the proxy has to be set in Firefox directly.
