I'm using FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE and iijppp to connect to the Internet through a local service provider who has assigned me a single permanent IP address. This works fine. I'm also connected to another FreeBSD machine via ethernet. The ethernet network has been set up using "private net" IP addresses as mentioned in /etc/hosts. I set up SOCKS version 4.2 on the first FreeBSD machine so the second one can talk to the Internet. The SOCKS clients rftp, rtelnet and rfinger work fine. At one time, I even had Netscape working with SOCKS. However, after having to rebuild the SOCKS host due to a disk crash (and no recent backups), Netscape has quit working. As far as I can tell, Netscape is never connecting to sockd on the SOCKS host even though I have the SOCKS host option set. I'm at a loss as to what's gone wrong. Does anyone have any ideas?
