I have set up a FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE box at my school to show my professor different aspects of FreeBSD. I really wanted to show him the ports collection since he's used to rpms. My problem is that I cannot get out to the internet at all. It operates correctly in the internal network (I set up an FTP server and it works fine as does telnet) I know there is a proxy server somewhere, but I dont know what the address is or anything else about it. All the Windows boxes detect it just fine and he's said none of the linux boxes he's used have had problems. What can I do to make FreeBSD detect it? I am using DHCP to obtain IP, DNS, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
