To get out at all, I have to use runsocks. Using "runsocks ftp
ftp.debian.org",
and "runsocks lynx http://debian.org' both work fine.
I did go inot dselect and ask it to change the method to ftp, which I
ha not
done when I tried your sugestion the first time. Now runing "runsocks
dslect"
works (using ftp access, as oposed to http).
What's really strange is the http access worked fine using runsocks
before I
upgraded from stable to testing, and to the 2.4.2 kernel.
Also, I don;t have any problems with name resolutin. "nslookup
www.debina.org"
works like a charm.
I really need to figure this out, I don't ecpect the ftp acess to last
much
longer, only http will probably be available in the near future.
