[cw-discuss] Proxy support?

[Anurag Mishra]

Well I have been facing the same problem on Linux. Crossover seems to have
little support for proxy.
I am behind a college proxy and am facing the same trouble. Crossover cannot
connect to net. So there is no way to install IE, Corefonts, and other
stuff(Infact any thing Crossover tries to download from net).
Only workaround for IE is to download full install of 70MB from
www.oldapps.com and then install manually.

BTW, I have submitted this as a beta report. Hope that they work on this
feature.
