I'm trying to run it through our firewall here, with the http-gw from the fwtk 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?
