Problem Trying to Enter Network Proxy Details for Registration
I am trying to run the Update Manager on a system (my AMD64 workstation) which requires the use of a proxy to connect to the outside world on port 80. After entering the network proxy details and clicking the OK button I get an error dialogue stating "Uable to connect to Proxy." This dialogue comes up immediately, there in no time out involved.
The proxy details in question involve a Squid proxy using port 3128 that requires authentication. I am successfully using this proxy from my workstation to access the WWW with Mozilla so I know it can connect to the proxy without a problem.
I have also tried the Update Manager on a SPARC server that resides on a less restrictive subnet. Here, although entering the proxy details would have been unnecesary, I have been able to successfully enter exactly the same proxy details and click OK without getting an error message.
Can anyone tell me how I can enter the proxy details as part of the registration process? Without getting the proxy configuration to work the Update Manager is not able to register my workstation. Is there any other manual way of entering the proxy details prior to running the software for registration?
