Sebastian- I posted this both to this and the beginners list some time ago. I never received an effective response. Others have also asked about numeric IP proxies. You have apparently hit upon the solution- thanks!
Apparently, a fully qualified domain name is expected in the proxy field. >I just installed a lot of packages, and since I didn't want to download >hundreds of MB via my dial-up connection, I took my PowerBook to school >and hooked it up to the LAN.
