Did you check that you have the same IP address with Linux? (This should be OK, assuming that your network uses MAC-based DHCP assignments, but check it just to be sure.) Can you ping the proxy server? > When Windows running it can see browser, but I cannot figure out how I > can use bowser with Linux(Debian). I would try this in a terminal: export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:PORT (replace "your.proxy.server" and "PORT" with the correct data for your network) Then do this: wget -v --delete-after http://slashdot.org to check if you can download the frontpage of slashdot via the proxy. If you get errors or a slow download speed then post the (error) messages of the wget command here. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
