Gordon, I believe that option just sets an environment variable that something like lynx would use. I don't think Konqueror even looks at it. Try explicitly setting the proxy name in the options for Konqueror and see if that gets things working for you.

When we use either Konqueror or Lynx within KDE2, also set up to use the proxy server, the connection just times out. I can ping the proxy-server from Linux. I can use Charlotte from the underlying VM system to go out to the web at large through the proxy server with no problem, and of course browsers on all sorts of workstations can go out through the browser. This is something unique with Linux/390. We're using VCTCA's to talk from VM to Linux. The VM machine(s) are on one subnet and all the linux servers are on another. Of course, I can't get to the logs on the proxy server to see what's happening. For the life of me, it feels like I've missed a configuration file somewhere. anyone have any ideas?
