Mark, I just did a telnet to the DNS name of the server. When I do a telnet to the IP address of the proxy server with our particular port number, it just hangs waiting for a response until I do a control-c.
Also, this is being used as an http proxy. The server can do, and I have done, http, ftp and socks proxy. It looks like Konquerer can handle http and ftp proxy, but has no place for an entry for socks. "You do not need a parachute to skydive.
