Proxy problem

[notbot]

Hi Ryan & Jeff

Thanks for the help.

I have tried editing the macports.conf  but it doesn't seem to make  
any difference... still get failed to fetch with 407 error

The proxy is also set in system preferences and I have tried the  
macports.conf with

> #proxy_override_env    yes

both enabled and off, again no difference.

I sure it must be something really simple that I am missing....

However, I can't log in to the Mac again till it wakes up tomorrow at  
6am UK time, but then need to try and have it working for monday  
morning....

Any help much appreciated :-)

Cheers

Anot
