ok guys...
My PC is on a college LAN which has configured a terminal as http proxy [ and obviously we can connect to the internet thru that proxy only...no bypassing..itz not a gateway]
ip 172.24.2.1
port 8080
in yahoo messenger and alll...all i did was just give the proxy IP...no username and password...and it works
but here when i try these things..
Hostname:172.24.2.1
port 8080 support both
protocol proxy
i get "firewall: connection rejected!!!"
i tried all sorts of commands...[/firewall on; /firewall -p 172.24.2.1 8080 ]
but its not working...i am not able to connect....
and ya..if at all i have to provide username and password...where from do i get these??? i mean the college has provided us with user accounts on its linux server box...like say
swordfish@collegename.edu ....so shud i use this username and the password to my account in personal college...seems wierd....i am confused....please help
