If what I think is happening is happening, then the proxy server is using MS
Proxy Authentication. From what I remember (very little) is actually
doesn't require authentication -- when you log on to the network, it logs
you on to everything, you get servers, printers, and proxy server.
I found this link from opera which does a better job explaining what I tried
to say, I think
http://www.opera.com/support/supsearch/supsearch.cgi?index=463
and this appears to be a discussion about the same topic with some probable
solutions (I can't try them, since I don't have a proxy server working this
way)

Dear All,
The router is behind the firewall and can be
accessed only by the proxy server ... and in thsi case
it happens to be MS proxy server... my linux is one of
the host on the domain(as a NT 2.0 W/S using SAMBA)
but the DCs are not authenticating any http request
through linux box... so now how i can i go thru this
system???
Depending on how the proxy is configured you're either SOL or you can se
a socks client.
Speak with the admin. Can windows users use mozilla/netscape/opera? If
not, expect pain getting linux to work. If so, investigate the socks
route.
I've never gotten linux to talk through an MS Proxy. I also never made
much of an effort. Google for it, I'm sure other lists have covered
this.
Odd. We appear to be running an MS proxy here. Generally, you just go
into preferences in Netscape, et al, and setup the proxy settings. In
Netscape, they are at Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Proxies | Manual
Proxy config | View.
For web only, enter the proxy name or IP in the 'HTTP Proxy' field.
You'll need to get the port from your admin unless they use the
default. Things like 80, 1080, or 8080 seem common for port.
I've used Netscape on Windows and Solaris through msproxies. I'm sure
Linux would work the same way here.
That'd be the socks support you're configuring. MS proxy also has a
proprietary protocol that makes it IE only.
