Need to set username and password manually somehow in vmware kde

[Guest]

I installed VMWare Kubuntu on Windows Vista. Under system settings > internet & networks > connections > proxy > Use the following login information section is disabled. Whenever I use a browser it prompts me for a user name and password. But when synching the system clock with a time server it gives an error saying unable to connect to time server

Is there a way around this to manually set the username and password somewhere?

Thank You

Open a konsle and issue
sudo systemsettings

This will give you root access, where you can make changes that would normally be grayed out.

Yes for the system password you are correct. But for proxy authentication it leads me back to the system settings window. I have tried doing it manually by pointing to a text file that has the following line:
export http_proxy=http://usernameassword@ipaddress:8080
It still does not recognize it. Does the ipaddress field has to be the real ip address or the url? I've tried both though and neither worked.

Any other suggestions? Remember I have a VM ubuntu running on Vista.

Thanks.
