networking thru a win proxy

[killerklown]

Im haveing problems with networking thru my proxy on my windows machine. Konqueror seems to be the only thing that I can surf with on the internet.Nothing else in MDK9.1 works with my proxy. Is their another way to share my dialup connection in windows so I can use my other programs in Mandrake to surf and dowload. And get cvs files and such.Im using Analog X proxy.Ive tried Setting up drakconnect but it doesnt seem to help.

[killerklown]

OK Ive downloaded Proxy + and everything seems to work accept drakconnect. When I try to set it up and click connect it says connecting to the internet and says connection complete and then it says not connected. I really dont know waht to put in it when it asks for the DNS server and Gateway if I leave them blank and try to use the connect feature it starts me back in the draconnect wizard again. So Im not sure what needs to go in these places.Also what do I put for the DHCP host name , Host name , and the Zeroconf host name.

Ive made it this far just a little more and all my internet progs will be working.

Btw this is the first time Ive really used Linux online after many years of trying different versions. Im so happy I cant contain myself.

[killerklown]

Maybe if I manually configured the main file that tells everything else Im using a proxy to connect to the net that it might work. Does any know where I might find this file on MDK 9.1?

[killerklown]

Can anyone help me please.

I'd like to help but there are a couple of problems.
1. I'm not familiar with that proxy
2. I'm not cozy with MD
:)

In Mozilla there is an option for proxies under.....
Edit / Preferences...
Advanced / Proxies

However I don't know just what you need in there. :(

[killerklown]

Thanks for the info. I have Konqueror and Mozilla web browsers working. Im looking to get other programs like a file transfering, instant messanger,Irc, Mail, progams working. Cervisia would be nice to. Thanks

That was too easy! I just downloaded Analog X proxy and installed it onto the W2K box which is connected to the net. I noticed the readme file which said to use port 6588 for client web access.

AnalogX Proxy is designed to be simple, small, and easy to use. It currently
only supports the following protocols:

HTTP (web browsers) (port 6588)
HTTPS (secure web browsers) (port 6588)
SOCKS4 (TCP proxying) (port 1080)
SOCKS4a (TCP proxying w/ DNS lookups) (port 1080)
SOCKS5 (only partial support, no UDP) (port 1080)
NNTP (usenet newsgroups) (port 119)
POP3 (receiving email) (port 110)
SMTP (sending email) (port 25)
FTP (file transfers) (port 21)

it does NOT work with ICQ, which really requires full Socks5 or a complicated
mess of UDP port mapping - but AIM and MS Messenger both work fine. Future
versions will include more protocols, but for most people this shouldn't be
a big deal.

Anywho, I don't use Instant Messengers so I'm no help there. Ftp should work for you though. Be sure to check that in the configure box on the Windows computer proxy program.

I tried Analog X and couldnt do anything but browse the internet from linux.
What about using drakconnect to set up internet connection any advise there.

[homey]

You shouldn't need anything like drakeconnect since you can already browse the web.
You may want to check the file /etc/resolv.conf It should have an entry for your Windows IP address. For instance, my Windows box uses the IP address of 192.168.0.1 so if I'm using that as a proxy, you add a line in your Linux box /etc/resolv.conf to look like this.......
nameserver 192.168.0.1

If you want to access ftp files from the linux computer, try adding the port In Mozilla under.....
Edit / Preferences...
Advanced / Proxies

Under Manual proxy configuration, there is a slot for Ftp proxy: 192.168.0.1 Port: 21

Wouldn't you only need to set your gateway and dns server (/etc/resolv.conf) addresses to point to the proxy ip address?

[killerklown]

Ill try that but what do you do if you want to use cvs. And to set my gateway and dns server to point to the proxy address in the etc/resolv.conf file, how do I that.

Is is the same as this thread (http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106625) just up/down from yours?

I'm running Mandrake 9.0. My network is functional in that Samba works and can mount windows shares. When using Mozilla or links, I can download, using a proxy on the lan. But, if I try to use wget or the first-time use of seti@home, it appears that the proxy server IP is not recognized. Our network does not use dhcp nor dns.

My resolve.conf file is as follows:


# search localdomain
search localdomain
# nameserver 172.24.200.2
# nameserver 202.158.3.7
# nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 172.22.200.15 ----> proxy server


# ppp temp entry

Should the gateway be in here also??

My hosts file is:

172.24.1.94 pcimm094.localdomain pcimm094
172.24.1.94 pcimm094.localdomain pcimm094
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

I couldn't find any file labled /etc/sysconfig/networking/routes but when running route, I received the following info:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.24.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 172.24.100.11 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

When using the gui Mandrake Control Center, the proxy IP is there but I can't connect to the Internet. The network setup wizard insists on a dns address, which I don't have. If I use linuxconf for configuration, I don't have to have a dns but I still can't connect.

BTW, I have another PC running RH7.2, with the same network configuration and everything works, wget recognizes the proxy server, seti@home works, etc. Is there another config file that is the problem?

Thanks for the help

I put the proxy server IP in resolv.conf and got wget to work.

Still can't ping anything beyond the proxy server, host won't work, rdate won't either. I'm beginning to think that this might be a firewall problem on the network.

Today I tried pinging from Windows with the same result: Destination host unreachable. I even tried the dns server IPs of the ISP provider, with the same result. Should the dns server IP numbers be inserted into resolv.conf?
