boomn Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Does anyone here use gaim through a proxy server? In the past year i have not been able to get gaim to connect to AOL through my school's proxy in any distro with any version of gaim. The same setting work fine with gaim in windows. It recieves authorization from the proxy, but then i get "Proxy Connection Error 502" I've searched around and can't find anyone else who has this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
