Linux Internet Access Through Proxy Server

Linux Internet Access Through Proxy Server

Post by Doug Thew » Wed, 18 Aug 1999 04:00:00



I am having trouble configuring Netscape (or anything else) to work through
our proxy server (MS Proxy 2.0).  I configured Netscape to point to the
proxy server (as I did for all of the other Win95 machines - which works
fine).  But, I get an error message stating that the automated proxy script
was not recognized.  When I try to do this manually, I get an error message
stating that the host name is not found.

I can ping internal and external IP addresses from a command shell, and I
can also resolve names through the internal and external DNS.  But, I cannot
HTTP (or anything else IP related) outside of the proxy server.

Does anyone have a setup script for connecting Redhat 6.0 through MS Proxy
Server?

I sent the message below to someone on another news group today but it works
here, too.

MS Proxy Server 2.0 has Socks Proxy for non-Windows hosts.  MS uses
SOCKS ver. 4.3a.

The MS SOCKS proxy will support Telnet, FTP, HTTP, and Gopher.  It will not
support apps that use UDP - Real Audio, VDOLive, MS Netshow, Quake, .....
other fun stuff.  The Winsock Proxy does do UDP.

More info on SOCKS - www.socks.nec.com
                                        www.socks.nec.com/socks4.protocol

There are also permissions and other configuration required on the Proxy
Server 2.0.

HTH, but probably not quite what you wanted to hear.

If you can ping Internet machines from command line, than why do yo need
proxy?

OK.  How do I do it?  Does it replace the SOCK service on the Proxy Server
or is a Linux client thing?  Additional information would be appreciated.
