a networking question

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

Hi,

I tried the settings (wget settings) that you instructed me, but it
did not work. Are you sure that there are two Ls in 'protocoll://...'?

Do I have to change .wgetrc file for every user? (I do not want to
change /etc/wgetrc file as it will open a password for a specific user
for the proxy.)

Thanks,
