Ok, this is something I'm curious of and after looking around on the net and through the handbook, I can't find where to do this. I know it was brought up once before, but never sufficiently answered. What I'm wanting to do is to use my laptop behind the firewall with FreeBSD running rather than windows 2000. I have my machine set to dual boot, but it makes it a pain to have to boot to 2000 to get info off the net, then boot to fbsd to do my work. At several of our locations our lan's are hidden behind proxy servers and the only way to get on the web is to set the proxy server in the browser and ftp client settings. What I want to know is how do I manually specify the proxy server for the lan in question that I'm working on during any given day so that I can just stay in fbsd and surf for info while doing my work? I know how to specify the IP and all that manually via rc.conf, but would I do much the same thing for manually specifying a proxy server?
