Hi, i installed lynx and guess what? Lynx plays nice and works! Lynx uses aps as proxy and thus can get to the net. So it's just apt-get and wget that aren't playing nice. I tried setting the proxy in /etc/apt/apt-conf and via the system var http_proxy=http://proxy.domain.int:8080 Still, apt-get doesn't work via the proxy. Any idea why they don't use the proxy settings? Thanks, Benedict
