Yes - I get 'Could not connect to <proxy_ip>: Connection refused.'

I expect this means I did not login successfully. Would this depend on my
system having been accepted by the Microsoft domain server? It does not
login to the domain server, though the Win systems do so.

I guess some firewalls require an ftp client to talk HTTP, but I'm getting
through this one with my 'generic' Win98 client.

The firewall is Microsoft Proxy Server v 2.0

Your suggestions, wisdom, and brickbats are always appreciated.
