proxy server settings in tinycorelinux

[shamurshamur]

I am behind  a proxy server and has to enter proxy server address to access internet.
i have read about how to enter proxy server settings  in FAQ , but that was bit obscure.

can somebody tell me how to do it in detail.  Also is there any gui  to enter it?

OK!!  i got it finally from here

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2653.msg13596#msg13596

But i want to make a request  to developer :

 As  tinycore depend  lot on internet to work , please add a GUI for adding proxy server settings.

Thanks a lot

Here's a another method to force tinycore to use proxy server by default for all applications .

Right after you see the desktop :

right click on  the desktop , on menu choose the logout option , a small window will appear , choose the option of "exit to prompt ".

on prompt enter the following commands :

tc@box:~$ export http_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"
tc@box:~$ export ftp_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"
tc@box:~$ export https_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"

this will set the proxies for http , ftp and https web addresses.

Now for logging in your desktop again type :

tc@box:~$ startx
