Proxy settings

[djaychela]

OK, I got my Pandora yesterday, and finally have an hour to play with it, while at work (pupil has a driving lesson!).


Problem is that my work network uses a proxy; I have the settings (straightforward web proxy), but how/where can I put them in? I've looked around and can't see anything obvious; on Ubuntu there's a straightforward Network Proxy control panel. I'd like to have something like that as I work in three different places, all with their own (straightforward) proxy settings.

Good question. I can't figure out how to do it globally (someone else might, or give me some time to figure it out) but in the meantime you can fix it temporarily on the command line.

export http_proxy=http://<user>:<password>@<proxy-server-ip>:<port>

replacing with your particular proxy settings as needed will give you command line access. Things like ssh and wget should work.


If you want to use a web browser, Midori, Firefox, and Chromium all have proxy settings in their network preferences you can set.
