Hi Max, Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm using the latest release of the Fink package (0.3.2a). I had setup Fink the way you suggest since the beginning, and as a matter of fact, fink itself works correctly in every respect, including the ability to download the source packages with curl. Several other shell programs (including lynx) do work correctly with my proxy shell environmental variables. Two programs that do not "talk" with my proxy are apt-get and dillo. Dillo is more specific in its error messages: "Dns_server: 192.168.0.1 is 0" As a matter of fact, my proxy DOES NOT provide DNS services, it rather uses a remote provider. Last but not least, my proxy provides firewall protection to the local network, so I'm behind a firewall. Any clue? Thanks again gaetano
