Hi everyone. I had a quick question. Right now I am running Wingate on my Win32 pc in one room with the ISDN connection in there. I have gotten Netscape to work now, by setting the proxy settings, but I can't get any terminal programs like lynx to work. It just says "Unable to connect to remote host." I looked around in linuxconf, but didnt see a place to set proxy settings... This is one of the things I love about IE5.5. It auto detects the proxy settings for everything, so idgits like me don't have to worry... Anyways. I would be much obliged if someone could help me out on this one. Thanks!!

Have you entered the dns servers in /etc/resolv? Could be since Netscape works, but a thought anyways.
