Going nuts trying to setup a proxy for IRC. I'm using ezbounce. I seem to connect to the proxy from box2 to box1, but can't connect to an external IP. I'm running SuSEFirewall, but am not getting any dropped packets or other errors. I've tried the following in /etc/sockd.conf client pass { from: 192.168.0.0/16 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 log: connect error } client pass { from: 0.0.0.0/0 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 port 1-65535 log: connect error } Strangely "from 0.0.0.0/0" will not match my client box. I have to specify "192.168.0.0/16" to get that connection. I get the following in the socks log: Apr 30 21:16:39 sockd[27988]: pass(1): tcp/accept [: 192.168.0.98.34275 -> 192.168.0.99.1080 Apr 30 21:16:39 sockd[27989]: block(0): tcp/connect [: 192.168.0.98.34275 -> 195.149.88.251.6667 Apr 30 21:16:39 sockd[27995]: created new requestchild Apr 30 21:16:44 sockd[27988]: pass(1): tcp/accept [: 192.168.0.98.34276 -> 192.168.0.99.1080 Apr 30 21:16:44 sockd[27989]: block(0): tcp/connect [: 192.168.0.98.34276 -> 195.149.88.251.6667 Any ideas what's going on? -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
