Hmmm... Works for me, make sure that you can ping the inside IP address of the proxy server, and then enter that address & port 80 in the proxy server settings for netscape. I'm surprised to hear that telnet worked, was that just locally? I personaly HATE ms proxy server, and bypass the whole thing whenever possible.. :) (and to think I took proxy as one of my electives for the mcse..heheh) At 01:26 PM 11/18/99 -0800, Luke Bakken wrote: >Hello, > >I'm trying to use my FBSD box in a network consisting >exclusively of windows machines.
