RE: Linux Client Through MS Proxy Server
Yes...only IE seem to work (i.e. with the proxy setting set to
pintprv1.<company_name>.com.my and port set at 8080)..have tried Navigator
and Opera but nothing happens!
Also, only upon request was I allowed to access and download from ftp sites.
Does MS Proxy Server use its own proprietary "protocol"?
