Socks Proxy Option
 

I just recently realized the existence of that possibility and I downloaded and installed (its really easy) http://jsocks.sourceforge.net/

So now what I am still missing is a better understanding of that technology ?

Especialy also because I just moved my machine to an internal Net (I configured a new (old) Mandrake 8.2 router) and it gives my main trding computer an Automatic Ip like 192.168...

Not having much experience with those type of IP's I notice dificulties maintaining connections - It could be that were my proxy is standing the default port is also blocked
Or maybe I need to export my Ip in a way I don't know jet

So please some explanations would most likely be usefull for numbers of potential users ...

Thanks

Another curious observation
 

Ok as I said now that I got my own internal network and thereby first time in long 2 computers (soon more) online at the same time i did some little experiment running Phex on the win2k box and the linux Mdk8.2 router...

I made one default client to the win2k (on 192.168.0.253:23000) the phex on the router (wich sas the 192.168.0.1 and a real Ip)

What happened is that the connection repeatedly timed out and sometimes the it would say connected(deprecated) Why ? Does Phex consider its own protokol deprecated ?
And why would it time out it pings in 750 avarage microseconds ?

There is another thing to consider which i do not completly scan yet ... that is the Mandrake-Wizard that did the router setup for me i guess also configured to mask the ip of the trough traffic (besides seting up the dhcp service...)

Anyhow I am glad I see other people considering learning the phex code cause I realize most little improvements necessary to get me back online are easy to implement ... (filtering of blocked ports from the hostcatcher...)

Anyhow Hope that is interesting to anybody ...

cheers
