What I had to when I was faced with this predicament was kind of ad hock but it worked. The first thing you need to do is get a socks client up and running on your machine so you can even get out to the internet (there are a couple that are packaged and a few more that aren't). Now apt doesn't like socks proxy servers or clients, so what I did was set up a http filtering proxy (actually the junkbuster) server locally that connected to the net through the socks client and then had apt connect to it.
I haven't had to deal with it for a while because I changed offices, but those are the basics. - Scott > > Subject: Connecting to a Microsoft Proxy Server > Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 14:22:34 -0500 > From: "Miller, Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Debian User List \(E-mail\)" <debian-user@lists.debian.org> > > Hello all, > I have Debian 2.2 Rev 2 running on an NT run network.
