(actually I also added -vvvvvvvvvvvv to my current config to debug using extreme verbosity :-)
on my linux box. My friends box had Kazaa and IE configured to use the socks server -- it worked fine. Well, he left for sp. break, got a new HD, and reinstalled his WinXP. Now, SOCKS is giving me trouble. I am running the same config on my machine, all IP's are the same, and -- get this -- Kazaa works fine when configured to use SOCKS, but IE is misbehaving, giving me this in /var/log/messages:
Mar 18 17:22:50 localhost nylon[23374]: Negotiation failed
anytime I try to type in www.tubgirl.com or whatever and press enter in the internet explorer. As I said, Kazaa is fine (I am listening to Britney Spears that I dld from Kazaa to test it out :-D ) Clearly, this is limited to IE, since Kazaa works fine. It can't be the firewall (in fact, all this time I turned off my firewall just in case, then turned it on -- in both cases kazaa worked but IE failed). A side note: Kazaa seems to do web browsing of its own, and it does NOT work like the downloads, but it seems to use IE libs to do this -- so the IE config affects it, thus I can tell it stems from the same faulty IE configuration. Here is what I put in the IE configuration (tools/Internet Options/Connections):
-Nothing in the upper half, since we don't have either VPN or dial-up
-In the lower half, I press LAN Settings
-The upper half, the second check box I keep blank (use auto config script)
-the first box (auto detect settings) was tried both checked and unchecked for all combinations
-the bottom part -- Proxy settings -- has both boxes checked (btw, I am on the same subnet as he), with advanced having IP and port set up for my box
and the box "use same proxy for all protocols" checked. I also tried unchecking it, keeping my IP and port in every box other than the SOCKS box (I tried to keep that too).
I have no clue as to what IE 6sp1 is doing (I think it is SP1 since part of its version number in the about box has xpsp1 in it). I am also not that good at windows (havent used it in years :-p
Any clues, even ones you think may not affect the situation, are appreciated.

PS: It isnt the DNS -- same result if I feed IE http://63.143.220.111
