Dear Sirs: I work in a big company with several offices around my country. In my office we got a LAN, and I attached a Linux based computer. I configured the network with netcfg and everything is working properly (anyonce can telnet me and viceversa). My company has a proxy server in the central office with a complete intranet. With Netscape, in the linux computer, I can browse around the intranet, but when I want to go out to another web site appears an message saying that there's a TCP error, no route to the system, the server may be down. If I ping, for example, to www.altavista.com, I obtain a lot of times: Destination hosts unreacheable If I run traceroute www.altavista.com, I get: traceroute to altavista.com (209.73.164.93), 30 hops mx, 38 bytes packets 1 x.y.z.1 [my gateway IP] (x.y.z.1) 2.863 ms 2.874 ms 2.891 ms 2 x.y.z.1 (x.y.z.1) 3.259 ms!H * 2.240 ms!H In the Windows machines, when I try to go to another web site away from the intranet, appears a windows asking my username and password (every one got one different). Could this be the problem? I'm really sad about this. I've installed a lot of linux computers in LAN, but this is the first time I got this problem! Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!!
