Hi Petric, I am not certain about git, but for subversion I had to set it in the subversion config. On my system: ***** host ~ # cat ~/.subversion/servers | grep proxy http-proxy-host = proxy.mydomain.com http-proxy-port = 8080 ***** I am guessing that a similar setting is required for git and others. -- Joost
