Now, I cannot recall if she was using Browse.xo or one of the Firefox-on-Sugar incarnations. Interesting, so I'm at least on the right track. Did she do any kind of configuration on the XO? Because I can't see Iceweasel sending out any packet (other than directly to the target host), so it cannot possibly auto-discover anything... :-/ CU Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Sure, but for that the browser must send a DHCP request, which it doesn't seem to do. Or does Fedora contain any support for that in the DHCP client (for Debian, I don't see it)? I did find an old email that indicated that she was using Firefox, not Browse.xo. OK, so it should work with Iceweasel. Either it got disabled (upstream? Debian?) or there was some kind of configuration (dhclient? Firefox?) to enable it...

Iceweasel needs to be explicitly configured to Auto-detect proxy settings for this network. Default is Use system proxy settings, whatever that means on Linux - the help document only talks about proxy settings configured for you [sic] operating system which might be about everything (environment variables, some Mozilla config in /etc, Gnome settings, KDE settings, ...). I guess there's some Javascript magic I could throw somewhere in /etc to tell Iceweasel to do that by default...
