It operates correctly in the internal network (I se= t up=20 an FTP server and it works fine as does telnet) I know there is a proxy=20 server somewhere, but I dont know what the address is or anything else ab= out=20 it. All the Windows boxes detect it just fine and he's said none of the=20 linux boxes he's used have had problems. What can I do to make FreeBSD=20 detect it?
