25 I think that you can try exporting your proxy's http address to ftp like so:
26
27 # export ftp_proxy="http://my_proxy.com:1234"
28
29 and then run emerge to see if you can get through. If your proxy requires a
30 username/passwd you'll need to add these on the command line just as the
31 handbook advises.
