Normally on a linux box I would install the APS098 NTLM python program. I also tried the using the browser without the APS098 NTLM By using manual proxy setting, giving specifying proxy server and p[ort number and use authentication. But I am still stuck I tried the suggestion below on a gentoo linux box without success So I is unlikely to work with red hat will give it a go a bit later today When the dust settles https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2003-June/001357.html -----Original Message----- From: James Wilkinson [mailto:james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:39 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: up2date from behind microsoft firewall Coghlan, Peter (Panels Oberon) wrote: > So far I am unable to run up2date from behind microsoft firewall. > I have ADSL at home where up2date works reasonably well but at work > I cannot run up2date because of the loveley MS firewall Which *can* be set up sanely.
