I run go-pear behind the same kind of firewall. I introduced changes for in go-pear last year because i had the problems you had. Go-pear.bat asks for the proxy. One thing that should be added to it though is that it does not tell the exact format. you need to enter http://user:password@proxy.myhost.com:port and the script will honor it so you don't need to to punch a hole in your firewall. I'll file a bug report for that to be added to the script. > None the less, I have posted my original other thread below which > outlines the problem.

Reading your other post do a pear config-show it will tell you where the files get installed. Look for PEAR_Directory. Sometimes it happens that the configuration gets losts, if this is the case you will have to do a pear config-set HTH Arnaud.
