Hi,
I have Debian set up and run. I can ping to any address and get replies.
And I also set up proxy server name and port number exactly same as Windows which I am writing this mail, now. But any browser reject saying 'proxy server may be not set right'. I asked the server administrator if Linux is blocked he says he does not block by seeing OS types, just MAC and IP only.
When Windows running it can see browser, but I cannot figure out how I can use bowser with Linux(Debian).
Please .
Thank you.

Did you check that you have the same IP address with Linux? (This should
be OK, assuming that your network uses MAC-based DHCP assignments, but
check it just to be sure.)

Can you ping the proxy server?

I would try this in a terminal:

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:PORT

(replace "your.proxy.server" and "PORT" with the correct data for your
network)

Then do this:

wget -v --delete-after http://slashdot.org

to check if you can download the frontpage of slashdot via the proxy. If
you get errors or a slow download speed then post the (error) messages
of the wget command here.
