Hi, I recently installed Red Hat Linux 6.2 and then upgraded it to PCQ Linux 7.1 in my office machine. It is a dual boot system between Windows NT Server 4.0 and PCQ Linux 7.1.
My office is completely Windows NT based network. Internet access in the office is not allowed for all the people and hence proxy restrictions are given which are based on Domain login and the machine's netbios name. My login and machine(Windows NT) are allowed to access net through proxy server(MS-Proxy). There are some internal sites of which does not require any proxy authentication and hence anyone can access those sites. After installing linux on my machine, i configured it use DHCP and now i am able to ping the proxy server and also any machine on the network. This means I am successfully on the network. When I boot the machine in Linux and run # lynx http://internal.site.com I am able to access the internal site which does not require any proxy authentication. But when I change the http_proxy line in /etc/lynx.cfg to point to my proxy server, i get following errors. # lynx http://www.yahoo.com Alert: Invalid header 'Proxy Authentication: NTLM' HTTP Error 407 Do you want to see the error(y/n) (1.) When I see the detailed error message, it is: -----------------------<error>------------------------ 407 Proxy Authentication Required You must authenticate with a proxy server before request can be services. Please log on to your proxy server, and then try again. Please contact the Web Administrator if this problem persists. ----------------------</error>------------------------ Then I press 'Q' to quit lynx and come out to shell prompt. (2.) When I choose not to see the error message, i am thrown out and then before the shell prompt appears, i see the following messages: -----------------------<error>------------------------- Looking up 172.17.96.45 Making HTTP connection to 172.17.96.45 Sending HTTP request HTTP request sent, waiting for response. Alert!: Invalid header 'Proxy Authenticate: NTLM' Can't access 'http://www.yahoo.com/' Alert!: Unable to access document lynx: can't access start file. ---------------------</error>-------------------------- An early help would be appreciated.
