Linux through a Windows Proxy

[tchatzi]

I know.....hell.

I set the HTTP_proxy on linux and it works fine with the browsers (firefox,mozila, konqueror).
But whatever i try from the command line does not work.
No ping, no telnet, no sendmail, no nothing.
Is there something i have to set up to make them work?

Thanks...

A http-proxy is only caching traffic for http on port 80.

telnet, ftp, sendmail use different ports.
icmp-echo-requests (ping) is even more far away.

It looks as if you like to have a router.
Look at the documentation for iptables for router-questions.
