Hi, My linux computer is behind a firewall that I have no control of. Netscape under Wine works fine, if I connect to a webpage within the internal domain. But it cannot find anything outside the domain. The funny thing is... if I use the native linux Netscape, I can access webpages outside my domain too. This means my PC can access the internet, but somehow this does not work under Wine. This situation is true for all my internet apps such as telnet, napsters, etc. What did I do wrong? Do I have to add some special configuration to Wine so it recognizes Firewall? any suggestions are appreciated...

In our setup here I can get at everything from my Microsoft machine through the proxy server but from my Linux machine I can only use the Linux Netscape (with the proxy defined in the advanced options). When we don't use the proxy I can access the network from the linux machine. (Even with some help I was unable to get the eBorder Linux proxy client to work with the microsoft proxy server) Bill
