When trying to make an internet connection with my linux machine running Mandrake 7 thru our proxy, I cannot get thru. It keeps trying to connect to port 80 and fails. Our network supports IE but not Netscape. I have configured Netscape every way possible. I tried using socks and this failed. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it possibly b/c of an older version of MS Proxy? I was under the impression that I could use socks to pass thru the firewall with unix, linux etc.. I am in need of getting thru the proxy with my Linux machine. ANy help would be appreciated.

the easiest way to use LINUX as a proxy is to use squid (www.squid-cache.org)

visit their site

hope it helps
