	What type of firewall? If you can't run any diagnostics on it, have you
tried tcpdump on your local machine and see what's going on? I'm no
expert by a long shot, but I can usually figure out what the problem is,
and if not, there's a mess of knowledgeable people here.. Don't get the
answer you need here, the join the yum/apt mailing list and ask there..
There's a bunch of help out there, but sometimes you have to hunt a
little for the person with the answer.. If you've tried the normal way
of accessing through a proxy, and it doesn't work, I would suggest
joining the yum or apt mailing list, and speak with the developers about
it.. I've run into some strange things with some of these commercial
firewalls.. That's why I don't sell them, I build them using Linux..
Then I know what I have to work with..
