Proxy authentication box not showing (sometimes)
- by zerologiko
I'm behind a proxy that require authentication by means of user/pass.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, I think the proxy is "Squid".
Usually everything works fine, that means that the browser shows me the window to insert proxy user/pass and I can navigate.
The problem:
Sometimes the browser refuse to show the authentication windows and if I wait enough it gives me an error like:
Errore 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED)
Even if I restart, disconnect, the situation doesn't change.
BUT on Windows the network (and the proxy) works..
So, bottomline what I know is:
the network is working (though only on Windows)
the Ubuntu configuration is ok (because i can navigate most days)
The problems resolves itself in a few hours but I don't understand why.
Some hints?
Thanks in advance!
