Chris, Before I even proceed, I must thank you for your help. I tried your suggesting in telnetting into the proxy server "telnet pintprv1 8080", and the tlnet screen comes up then nothing...but when I pressed "Enter", I got the following message on screen:- <<telnet.log>> Noticed the "Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0" !?!...hmmmm I wonder what this means? I will try to ask the "friendly" network fols at the IS Dept. as to how the server(s) were set up and what is needed to get my Debian box to access the Web so that I can use dselect or apt-get...... Cheers. P/S : BTW, which part of downunder are you from? I completed by undergrad in Canberra back in 1993!
