Hi, Unfortunately this didn't make any difference. Originally I tried running just Quicktime (4) player for Mac, which is apparently Socks5 saavy (although I don't see anything for auth in it), but this time I experimented further with 'Socksifying' quicktime(4) player on Windows, and making sure that the player was not trying to use a socks5 server, but instead letting Sockscap32 handle the transactions. Again, the auth failure turned up in the logs. The username and password that I used for sockscap32 is identical to the username/password for my account on the FreeBSD box (as is the username/password for Windows logon). I tried your suggestion in 2 variations, 1) your exact suggestion, 2) changing the auth line to read "auth - - n" and instructing sockscap that no authentication was required. I have cleaned the config file up and it currently looks like this: # Authentication entries auth - - u # Access entries permit - - - - - - # route entries route 192.168.1./255.255.255.0 - xl0 route - - tun0 Thanks, Rich.
