Re: Connecting to a Microsoft Proxy Server
What I had to when I was faced with this predicament was kind of ad hock but it
worked. The first thing you need to do is get a socks client up and running on
your machine so you can even get out to the internet (there are a couple that are
packaged and a few more that aren't). Now apt doesn't like socks proxy servers or
clients, so what I did was set up a http filtering proxy (actually the junkbuster)
server locally that connected to the net through the socks client and then had apt
connect to it.
I haven't had to deal with it for a while because I changed offices, but those are
the basics.
