(This is the BSDI executable) I'm trying to run it through our firewall here, with proxies there are no problems, but with socks5 it gives an error about no route to host. What's more, when I specify the name of the socks-server instead of it's IP address I get an error about the name not having a DNS entry, but it's in my /etc/hosts file! I have host.conf configured for hosts file first and then bind. When I try this from a sgi or an nt server in the same network it works ok. I vaguely remember about problems with hostname resolving with the bsdi netscape, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any ideas?
