I tried your command on two different Linux boxes here inside our firewall. It worked on one but not the other. Assuming the diff wasn't a subtle typo on one try here, it sounds like my difference (and maybe your problem) is something local to the machine. Did you set the socks config file? /etc/libsocka5.conf has one line: socka5 - - - - <yourProxy.dom.com:port> which needs to be modified from the default installation. (Replace the 5th '-'.) If you've done that, maybe it's some other local problem, like selective packet filtering. Try killing iptables/ipchains long enough to see if it's the local firewall. (In fact, I see now, on the machine where it fails, I've not fixed the config file.) Benton 29jun04 -- BC&G Holzwarth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
