I posted this to the wrong list (users)- obviously, I am a beginner; I didn't find a useful answer in the FAQs or archives.
Problem- fink works beautifully when I'm on dial-up at home, but can't connect from the ethernet T1 at work. We have a proxy for http only. I've tried using fink configure to set the proxy (http://66.99.56.2:8081), leaving the ftp settings at none and passive (defaults). I've also tried using the http proxy address with ftp, answering "N" to the passive question, etc. At this point, I believe I've tried all possible combinations of proxy responses. Testing, using "sudo dselect" and the update function, always results in connection failure from the ethernet connection. "apt-get" also fails to connect. I can ping and traceroute sourceforge.net from xterm in Window Maker. The fink-users list posting resulted in a single response advising me to set ftp to passive mode, but isn't that set under fink configure as default ("Y")? Regardless, turning it on or off in fink configure doesn't solve the problem. Any advice would be welcome.
