try telnet to test, for example if the uni's proxy is bla.uni.com:3128 try telnet bla.uni.com 3128 and then type GET / you should get a response back from the proxy which should help or try http_proxy=http://bla.uni.com:3128/ wget -v -d google.com it should show you debugging info > > TIA! > > best, > steve > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
