Proxy at work :(

Hey Guys,

Anyone got emerge working through a proxy with username and password authentication? I've tried exporting the username:password@proxy.address which results in an authentication failure. Is there any good doco out there regarding getting this to work? Or is it possible to download seperately ie before /bootstrap.sh ?

Cheers

Blindy

Bypass the proxy... hehe

We have a Windows NT network at work and I just can't stand using the proxy, not to mention surf control kills me. We just bypass it, however you may not be able to... If you know some people in the IT dept, you may be able to snag a little assistance from them, even if it's just temporary...

heh...well...I work in the IT department

Unfortuantely our internet connection is based in the city which we are connected via a 2MB link...too much politics involved in trying to get around it unfortuantely

try it with a tunneled ssh connection - or with GNUhttptunnel http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html

but be carefull - it's not really legal - and be sure about what you're doing[/url]
