In my work, we connect to the internet over one http proxy (squid) running on fedora, with windows(98/2k/xp) we dont have any problem to acces to the outside. I have my user and password, the proxy have the IP: 192.168.1.2 Port 3128

I need to access to the internet to update my system because i only download the mini-iso, and i need to update ports and kernel, i need to install some packages, but went the /stand/sysinstall ask me how i want to connect to the internet i chose HTTP Proxy, them he ask:

Please enter the address of the http proxy in this format: hostname: port (the ':port' is optional, default is 3128 )

I give the IP of my proxy: 192.168.1.2, but he dont ask my user and password, and say:

"No Such directory: ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD /snapshots/i386/5.3-RELEASE please check URL and try again"

We use one DHCP server with windows that give the IP, i receive the IP, but still cannot connect my freebsd box to the internet, some docs say that if we receive our IP address from some DHCP we dont need to worry about the DNS. I dont have nothing on /etc/resolv.conf

Our subnet is W.X.2.Z --> my IP is 192.168.2.22

I forget something?, i need to ask something more to the person is in charge of the Internet access?

I really need to setup freebsd, because we need to test some software before next friday. Hope you could help me, thanks.

Set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. See "man 3 fetch".

Ok, i still have problems connecting my freebsd 5.3 to the outside, i read man 3 fetch and have this examples:

**************************** man 3 fetch******************************** EXAMPLES To access a proxy server on proxy.example.com port 8080, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable in a manner similar to this:

HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080

If the proxy server requires authentication, there are two options avail- able for passing the authentication data. The first method is by using the proxy URL:

HTTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080

The second method is by using the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH environment variable:

HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080 HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd> *************************** end man 3 fetch*****************************

Them i add this to my /root/.cshrc

setenv HTTP_PROXY http://myusername:mypassword@192.168.1.2:3128 setenv http_proxy http://myusername:mypassword@192.168.1.2:3128

Where 192.168.1.2 is my internal proxy(squid), that let goes out side, that proxy is begin the firewall, all running on fedora on the same box, is my setup correct or i didnt understand well?

I dont get it, it looks very easy, any tip there?

Put FETCH_ENV= HTTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080 FETCH_ENV= FTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080

in file /etc/make.conf It works for me!!
