Why doesn't it work from behind a socks server? hint: freebsd doesn't care what network it's on generally, howeveri, its client programs must be socks aware. You must configure each application to use SOCKS individually. the freebsd ftp client doesn't offer SOCKS functionality, but i'm sure the netscape or various others in the ports collection do. browse around, you'll find something. :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
