i have been connected to my network in suse 11.0!
in firefox i can easily browse web pages and use 8080 port!
but i’m not able to add proxy settings in YaST! now i can not use 1-click install and use auto refresh!
what should i do now?
Did you try to add proxy settings as following?
YaST/Modules/Proxy - openSUSE
You can also modify this file.
/etc/sysconfig/proxy
i tried to do this but i wasn’t able to do that!
server has an ip like 100.100.100.100 but when i enter it in it doesn’t change anything!
“I can’t do that” doesn’t help us to help you.
Why can’t you use the YaST proxy settings dialog? Do you understand it? What are the error messages? Can you describe exactly what you’re doing please?
A useful tip is to use /root/.curlrc to enter proxy settings for YaST software management and updates.
Are you behind a corporate proxy/firewall? Is so, is it an MS ISA server? If so, had you added kerberos client? A number os ISA servers require client authentication before even permit you to reach them.
A hint: Login as root in a console. Try to download a web page with wget of curl. When you manage to to so, then you are done.
thank u so much for the hint,
i did and i got this:
linux-3hj1:/home/omid # wget http://google.com
--2008-08-29 16:46:43-- http://google.com/
Connecting to 192.168.100.8:8080... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
2008-08-29 16:46:43 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. ).
linux-3hj1:/home/omid #
now what can i do?
now what to do?
Hi Emab,
As KJ44 is wondering, I wonder too… what error do you get when trying to set the proxy using YAST > Proxy ?
Also, have you tried editing the /etc/sysconfig/proxy and set the values manually?
Cheers,

Hi,
Maybe this might help?
I got this situation while trying to make an online update behind the proxy.
I could browse the internet from port 8080 but not able to add the repositories and wget “http:\…” worked out well.
Our network doesn’t accept any ftp connections and I found that even though the default addresses in the yast are http I was being transferred to a ftp mirror. and the system keep stuck at the updates.
This is what i did: disable the default addresses (don’t delete) then add http servers from the address here
Mirrors Released Version - openSUSE
Return to defaults when not in the proxy.
That solved my problem.
Good luck.
Thank you all!
I just went to “Configure a proxy” and enabled proxy, i just added:
http://wpad:8080
and it worked!
also thanks to firefox for helping me 
I am having problem setting system proxy on OpenSuse 42.1. I t does not work. The proxy is running under MS ISA server. The proxy setting under Firefox is running fine.
I have enabled Yast2-Proxy with the following sttings:
http://10.50.2.24:8080
Use the same proxy for protocols.
I have used the correct login name & password for authentication and while testing “Test Proxy Settings”, it gives the following error:
An error occurred during the HTTP proxy test
Proxy return code:HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. ).
I have checked /etc/sysconfig/proxy and its contains set to correct proxy
and /root/.curlrc contains the correct login name and password.
I have found that the best way to set up MS ISA (Forefront) is to configure the firewall rule to permit the IP address of the Linux host instead of trying to present Active Directory credentials.
BTW - When posting, it’s recommended that you start a new thread instead of appending to an ancient thread. Besides the likelihood that the original post would have to be about different versions of just about everything, like in this situation your problem was not actually similar in any way to the OP’s problem. Instead of risking spinning the original topic in new directions, a new thread ensures your topic is considered on its own.

I agree. And can add that many people will not even see your post because it is at the end of an existing thread where they might not be interested in anymore.
I strongly suggest you to start a new thread with a good title to draw the attention of people that might be able to help you.
And to others (tsu2 included). In such a case it is better not to start the discussion, but only suggest the new thread and then wait for it to emerge. Another approach might be to report the thread and let staff advise the poster about the best way to get help.
I have the same problem. I am working behind a proxy which requires authentication.I can access internet through firefox, but not through YAST or terminal. I am using opensuse 42.2.
I have added the proxy in sysconfig, I have added the export proxy (export http_proxy "username: password@proxy: port) but no use.
I know that in ubuntu I can add three commands (Acquire proxy) in apt.conf file to solve this issue but I don’t know how to do this in opensuse. Please help.
