There! FINALLY seem to have a working tor 0.2.1.7-alpha. I went down the requisite lines in the config one by one, uncommenting the minimum needed and finally got it working.
SOMETHING must have changed from 0.2.1.6-alpha or the previous config would have worked fine with the new one...it didn't (on my system at least). praedor On Thursday 13 November 2008 15:06:19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 02:53:27PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote 0.7K bytes in 14 lines about: > : This is driving me nuts.
