Here, we had wingate on one of our servers (just temporary; we use a satellite card which had drivers only for w98 - just imagine an '98 playing as "server"), and i could get my fbsd online, but only with netscape. Just say in edit/preferences what is your proxy server, and it should work. For anything else other than netscape, i have no idea.
