Do you mean thread 32882? The author's way of expressing themselves leaves one having to concentrate very hard. lol
I'd have thought if you're using a proxy, then LW should be set up the same way. ie: Force IP & Sock v.5 But I don't know much about proxies. Since everything else has failed, it could be worth a try. I don't know how that'd affect/meet with the lan configuration. I'm not sure about the suggestion to switch back after connection as in the last couple of steps listed. If you can try it, then try the initial steps & if it works stick to it. If it has problems then next time use all 9 steps. (You can apparently get a program which will help set things up for you.)
About Socks (only need to read one or 2 lol
