Stupid PC networks

http web proxy

[RussellB]

I just got a new job in a PC network and their web proxy doesn't work with my ibook. I can't ping the Windows 2000 server if i call it by it name but i can if i use the IP address. I can also use the web if i use Internet Explorer but it prompts everytime to log in. I need some help otherwise i might have to go back to the dreaded world of Windows. HELP

Could also be the server's default security settings.
