Rick, I also have a FreeBSD box behind a proxy. I can surf the web just fine by manually pointing Netscape to use the proxy box. (In Netscape, click on "Edit", "Preferences", then at the bottom in the "Advanced" area, you should see "proxies". Choose "Manual Proxy config" and set up your proxy's ip address and ports in the appropriate blanks). The only thing that I have not figured out, and wonder if this is actually what you are talking about, is when I go to /usr/ports/"xyz", and try to do a command line "make install" of a port, it will not auto magically get out to the internet and I do not know how to tell it to use a proxy. Hope this helped, even if it was only a little bit.

I would like to connect it to the internet so that I can download files with it. How do I set FreeBSd up to do this?
