I hit "right-button, properties" on "network neighborhood", which brought up "Network", a tabbed dialog box. The only relevant tab was "Configuration". There were no settings like you describe under either "Client for Microsoft Networks, Properties" or "TCP/IP, Properties" tabbed dialogs -- the native TCP/IP configuration dialogs. I then went to "Start, Settings, Control Panel". "Network" brings up the properties tabbed dialog box. In "Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet" (which only appears if you install the "Plus!" pack), the "Advanced" tab describes proxy services. I thought this was for the announced NT proxy server? If this is in fact for socks, this would be seriously important to know. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
