I checked all the settings of internet explorer which work properly. Tried all those settings in netscape and konqueror. Still cant access the name servers. I dont know what login procedure the proxy uses but I was reported that the systems dont need to authenticate. How's that possible? Maybe the administrators saved authentication information in windows and my prof doesn't know about it. How can I figure that out ?Maybe the browsers use NTLM authentication(http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html) also called "password-less" auth by some. Last I heard, Firebird supports NTLM.
Just firing up windoz get the systems online. I tried to intall mozilla browser for windows and it also works with the proxy settings. Read somewhere on the net that some microsoft proxy servers use propreitory protocols. Anyone has any ideas what this is?
I exported http_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3128/ and other vars but I guess the system is not being able to authenticate at all. I can only ping the gateway. Also set the local network access to work without proxy as set in IE browser. Still no use.
