Brain freeze...  need caffine.... 

I have freebsd 2.2.6 and can not get thru a microsoft proxy server (v2.0). 
I have come to find out that this proxy server uses socks ver 4. 
But their is no port for socks4 only socks5 

What am I missing?  
or am I as dumb as "socks5 is backward compatible to socks4"

>From the the ms docs


<MS-PARTY-LINE>
Microsoft Proxy Server can act as a SOCKS client to an upstream
SOCKS server or Proxy Server can be a SOCKS server to a client 
computer running SOCKS software on it. Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 
supports SOCKS version 4. SOCKS uses TCP and can be used for 
Telnet, FTP, Gopher, and the World Wide Web. The SOCKS Proxy 
service does not support RealAudio, streaming video, or NetShow.

whoever said that ms stuff works with ms stuff has 
never worked with ms stuff ....

thanks
