This prevents me from = doing ftp. I installed FreeBSD 4.5, enabled DHCP and joined my machine to the = windows domain. I'm able to ping other machines on the network. What I'm not able to do is the seemingly simple 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 = message. "nslookup ftp.freebsd.org" also gives out similar message. I = did "setenv FTP_PROXY OurProxy" and then tried ftp. Same error message. So I figured this is because my freebsd box is behind the proxy server. = Other windows machines on the network use a small program called "proxy = client" (for which i don't have the source code) to get thru' the proxy = server and out to the internet. How do I configure the freebsd box to get thru' the proxy server? Is = there a proxy client i have to install on freebsd box? any help is appreciated. thanks Nathan ------=_NextPart_000_033B_01C1B95B.F396BFB0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2713.1100" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>My freebsd box is behind a windows = proxy server.=20 This prevents me from doing ftp.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I installed FreeBSD 4.5, enabled DHCP = and joined my=20 machine to the windows domain.
