I have a Fortress Firewall (Linux - SQUID Cashe Proxy), Connected to our internal LAN, consisting of Netfinity NT, intergrated in an AS/400 and an new AIX box, Users use PCs and Login on to the NT (E3AUST.COM.AU).
I have installed IBMs fixdist to obtain patches to AIX.
Download fails, indicating this most often occurs when fixdist cannot penetrate the Firewall.
I have tried using Passive Proxy using the ip and port that we use in Internet Explorer to acccess the web.
Still doesn't work. Don't know how to use the Active Proxy, have also been advised this could break security.
