I'm trying to get the text F@H client running on my desktop at the office. I can't seem to get the proxy settings to work right though.

I have it setup exactly as I have Firefox setup, but it gets a 401 (unauthorized) whenever it tries to download anything

FWIW the 401 error is what I would get if I try to get on the internet and cancel the username/password box..

Idears? I had UD running on this box before with any big hassles, just had to get the settings just right..
 
Which proxy is it? Squid doesn't let FAH through.

You might need to use a http tunnel program; that way programs on your machine request things from the net and they get redirected through the proxy.
 
Securepoint FW-1

I should of mentioned that.. :)

I guess I could always point it to a publicly open proxy on the net, but I hate to break the rules like that.. :/

Too bad FAH doesn't use HTTPS for transfers, I would be golden then.
 
As long as it is an HTTP1.1 compliant proxy (squid isn't) it *should* work.

If you run <fah executable> -configonly, there should be a place to put in proxy authentication information.

If the proxy is how you get your internet, setting it to a public proxy wouldn't help - you'd have to be able to run it with no proxy settings at all for that to work. It has to get to the internet somehow to get to the public proxy, and I'm guessing the only path to the internet that is available to you is the proxy.

the black knight always triumphs!

It's kinda hokey, port 80 is the only thing that goes thru the proxy. I could probably bounce it somewhere else off port 8080 or something similar. I think I'm going to end up telling it to ask for permission before connecting and I'll use putty to ssh to my home network for the connection..

I have a hunch it would work if I could leave the proxy port and address blank but fill in my un/pw..
 
Got a work around..

Will have to set it to ask before using the network, and I'll setup a putty ssh tunnel..
