My freebsd box is behind a windows = proxy server.=20 This prevents me from doing ftp.

I installed FreeBSD 4.5, enabled DHCP = and joined my=20 machine to the windows domain. I'm able to ping other machines on the=20 network.

What I'm not able to do is the = seemingly simple=20 thing. "ftp ftp.freebsd.org". This gives me an error message "no address = associated with the hostname". "ftp -p ftp.freebsd.org" gives the same = error=20 message. "nslookup ftp.freebsd.org" also gives out similar message. I = did=20 "setenv FTP_PROXY OurProxy" and then tried ftp. Same error = message.

So I figured this is because my freebsd = box is=20 behind the proxy server. Other windows machines on the network use a = small=20 program called "proxy client" (for which i don't have the source code) = to get=20 thru' the proxy server and out to the internet.

How do I configure the freebsd box to = get thru' the=20 proxy server? Is there a proxy client i have to install on freebsd=20 box?

any help is appreciated.

thanks

Nathan
