Hi, In case this doesn't make it to the list, will you please copy me with your answers? I am having trouble getting the Pear package manager to see the Pear packages from behind a firewall. I have attempted to follow the instructions for installation in the Pear manual. Apparently, I'm not understanding something and I'm frustrated. Can anyone point to documentation or suggest what to check to get this to work? Thanks.
