 Hello,

 I am having some trouble with TOR, which I recently installed. I am at a
 college and we use the schools proxy to connect to the internet. I have an
 account for the network, and the username has to involve the name. I
 filled in the address and port. In the username I did "domain\username"
 and obviously in password I put the password. I'm not sure which ports the
 school may block, if any at all, but I tried that setting multiple times
 with the basic ports then other ones that I suspected they did. It is an
 HTTPS proxy.

 When I try to start it, everything goes well until  "Establishing an
 encrypted directory connection. In the message log I see
 Warning: The https proxy sent back an unexpected status code 407 ("Proxy
 Authentication Required"). Closing. I have tried editing the settings
 first in the vidalia settings window and later in the torrc file. Nothing
 has worked as of yet. I am using "tor-browser-2.3.2.5-2". If anyone can
 help me, please do.If I am in the wrong place, sorry. Thanks in advance.
