I have a Mandrake 6.0 setup behind a Wingate 3.0 proxy server connected
to a cable modem, and am unable to connect with the Mandrake mirror
sites to obtain updates. According to the Wingate information, I need to
change the port on my FTP client (Mandrake Update?) from port 21
(standard FTP port) to port 80 to connect through my firewall. I have
been unable to discover how to make this change in the Mandrake Update
program. I would appreciate any suggestions.
TIA
Jim
