I'll try, but it always seems to be hit and miss with MS Proxy. If all you want to do is surf or ftp, you shouldn't have to mess with Socks; just point your browser to the IP address of the MS Proxy. If you get an authentication error message, uncheck the NTCR box in the WWW service of the ISM and just use anonymous (if the NT administrator will let you do that). Whether this actually works or not depends on what version of Service Pack is on the NT server and whether or not they have applied the Proxy server service pack. If you want to do anything else through the MS Proxy (e.g. get email, ICQ, etc.), you'll have to muck about with the Socks service which I can't help you with as I haven't been that brave yet :) Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
