Hi Kevin, That's great, thanks, solved my problem perfectly....for now :)
I can successfully do a wget on any URL and I can update / install packages with apt-get, however, the IMDB search in Myth doesn't do anything. It tells me onscreen that it's searching IMDB, but as far as the proxy server is concerned, Myth hasn't even started a session. Any ideas? Does the IMDB system use a different method to download pages?
