RE: dselect/firewall
if your pc is configured with DHCP and this server is set-up properly you
should not enter any of these parameters,
maybe the proxy in question is configured for Socks 5 authentication and
thus you need to install (floppy's) a socks 5 proxy client of some sort. You
are probably inside an NT domain(ed) network ?
i figure that if
export http_proxy="http://foobar:port";
does not work then you are in SOCKS trouble ... correct ?

The problem I have with this (which I've tried) is that I can't set the
proxy using a port number ie. "http://foobar:80";. We have an autoproxy
that we have to point at. Is there a way around that?
