I were in a rush last time so I could only give you a brief. Let's go into detail:

1) Install rootsh (if you haven't done so)
2) username is the user name you use to login to your proxy
2) password is the password you use to login to your proxy with given username
3) addressofproxy is the address of the proxy in your LAN
E.g., username=foo, password=bar, and the addressofproxy=192.168.1.254:3128
i.e. the required commands is:

Code:
export http_proxy="http://foo:bar@192.168.1.254:3128/"
Add the above line to the end of your /etc/profile with any text editor in root shell. For example, if you've leafpad installed, use the following command to edit the /etc/profile:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/profile
I don't think reboot is required, but if it doesn't work the first time you may reboot before try again.

Thanks buddy.

How about the proxy LAN connection has no username and pass? what the syntax command i need to use based on your prior instructions?

I can login using sudo gainroot (xterminal), you mean the following command is such like this?

e.g. sudo gainroot
then... /home/user # (this is the message in the screen, what next command how can i go to /etc/profile?)

Sorry to bothered you, i think you will help me much if you can give me some instructions,,, sorry not much understand linux at this point.

Ok, give me the IP address and port of your proxy so that I can give you the complete script in one go.

i just sent you DM, due to security purposes.

NOTE: Internet browsing is working using this proxy connection, but IM's and other Apps only are not.

In general, you aren't going to have much luck with this.

99% of 3rd party apps won't respect the proxy. I do know gpodder will work after exporting, but that's about it. Microb, firefox, and email will work with the regular proxy settings. Just about anything else, you won't have much luck with.

If you search around this forum you will find another member that has extensive experience using a proxy and will be able to tell you exactly what does and what doesn't work.

Thanks to your feedback, i am really keen to know other feedback on this, maybe soon someone can discover things to use 3rd party application using proxy setup, however, if you discover anything that might help on this concerns, please don't hesitate to inform.

Thank you very much and i truly appreciated.

Sent to your mailbox. Please pay extra attention when editing the /etc/profile, as bad things might happen when anything goes wrong.

This method works for Linux in general so I hope it works for you. Please tell us the result. Thanks.
