Hope you could help me, thanks. >=20 > Set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. > See "man 3 fetch". >=20 Ok, i still have problems connecting my freebsd 5.3 to the outside, i read man 3 fetch and have this examples: **************************** man 3 fetch******************************** EXAMPLES To access a proxy server on proxy.example.com port 8080, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable in a manner similar to this: HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://proxy.example.com:8080 If the proxy server requires authentication, there are two options ava= il- able for passing the authentication data. The first method is by usin= g the proxy URL: HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080 The second method is by using the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH environment variable= : HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://proxy.example.com:8080 HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=3Dbasic:*:<user>:<pwd> *************************** end man 3 fetch***************************** Them i add this to my /root/.cshrc setenv HTTP_PROXY http://myusername:mypassword@192.168.1.2:3128 setenv http_proxy http://myusername:mypassword@192.168.1.2:3128 Where 192.168.1.2 is my internal proxy(squid), that let goes out side, that proxy is begin the firewall, all running on fedora on the same box, is my setup correct or i didnt understand well? I dont get it, it looks very easy, any tip there?=20 Thanks in advanced.
