1) Install rootsh (if you haven't done so)
2) username is the user name you use to login to your proxy
2) password is the password you use to login to your proxy with given username
3) addressofproxy is the address of the proxy in your LAN
E.g., username=foo, password=bar, and the addressofproxy=192.168.1.254:3128
i.e. the required commands is:

Code:

export http_proxy="http://foo:bar@192.168.1.254:3128/"

Add the above line to the end of your /etc/profile with any text editor in root shell. For example, if you've leafpad installed, use the following command to edit the /etc/profile:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/profile

I don't think reboot is required, but if it doesn't work the first time you may reboot before try again.
