[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi All, I've scanned the archives, and can't seem to find anything... This probably also belongs in freebsd-newbies, as this is possibly a trivial thing to do... I have 2 machines, on win98 machine running wingate (192.168.1.1), and a freebsd machine running 3.2-RELEASE (192.168.1.2). Wingate is running succesfully as an http and ftp proxy, yet I can't seem to get any IRC client to use the wingate machine as a socks5 server... On the freebsd machine i have win98 dualbootable installed, and i have MIRC installed, and it works through the wingate machine, specifying 192.168.1.1 as a socks5 server, so wingate (seems to be) setup correctly... I installed the socks5 port, but that just seems to be a socks5 SERVER component, and doesn't enable my IRC clients to use the wingate machine as a socks5 server... Am I missing something? Does BSD have socks5 support by default? Is this an IRC client shortcoming? Or should I rather stick to DOS? :) Thanks Aubrey Kilian (in ZA) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've scanned the archives, and can't seem to find anything...</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This probably also belongs in freebsd-newbies, as this is possibly a trivial thing to do...</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 2 machines, on win98 machine running wingate (192.168.1.1), and a freebsd machine running 3.2-RELEASE (192.168.1.2).</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wingate is running succesfully as an http and ftp proxy, yet I can't seem to get any IRC client to use the wingate machine as a socks5 server...
