I installed 4.2-RELEASE on it, and also installed ports/net/socks5. However, I can't get any application to go through the SOCKS firewall. There are two distinct behaviors I see: applications that come pre-socksified (like rtelnet) simply fail to connect. If I try to do, say 'rucnsocks telnet' to socksify the standard BSD telnet, it seems to be having problems doing DNS resolution, as telnet tries to connect to 0.0.0.1, no matter what host name I give. The same machine, running Winblows NT has no problem crossing the firewall (say, using Netscape). Clues anyone?
