i have a case where i have to login to a specific site
and fill up my credentials only then internet will be connected

how can i do this in xbian?

[rikardo1979]

im afraid you cant do this as you dont have a web browser cos no X environment

[nsviper]

if you mean at the command line when doing apt-get's etc ( as I found out this week) you can do the following:

http_proxy='http://<username>:<password>@<proxyaddress>:<proxyport>/' apt-get update
http_proxy='http://<username>:<password>@<proxyaddress>:<proxyport>/' apt-get upgrade
