[Sussex] A clever work around? (IP Tables and Firewalls)

[Matthew Macdonald-Wallace]

Hi,

At the moment I have the current setup:

	University Network
	with Proxy Server
		|
		|
	Desktop Computer
	With IP Tables and DNS MASQ
		|
		|
	       Hub
		|
		|
	Laptop with GPS Drive

I'm trying to d/l maps for GPS Drive however it does not want to
connect to the map server.

When I'm out somewhere and I have a wireless network without a proxy,
it works fine, however when I'm trying to d/l from my room it does not.

I have already exported $http_proxy with the correct settings, however
DNS Mas does not seem to be interpreting these correctly for GPS Drive,
even though Firefox works fine.

Is there any whay ofd adding a rule to IP Tables or dnsMasq so that all
web traffic(http and https) has the proxy added to it at the desktop,
removing the need for the proxy variable on the latop?

TIA,

Matt
