if not using expert mode, then you can wind up with error messages or frustrations that aren't needed. ( from trying to install packages not included so the messages themselves are just a waste of time ) it should be able to talk to it. you will probably want to use samba client to acces the windows proxy server. samba takes the tcp / ip protocol from *x and converts it to the netbeui of windows to remove the connection issues that happen with ms' non standard protocol.
