SOCKS
5 And Sockscap Proxy Settings
Proxy
Server addresses and ports used for SOCKS 5 or Sockscap can be found on
our
Proxy Server List. The
port to use for each server will be listed on the same line as the server name.
If your are having problems with your ISP being able to look up the server name,
you can use the IP address in place of the server name. If you still experience
problems, check your configuration and be sure that you are using the correct
user name and password. If you have checked everything, try a different proxy
server on one of our other networks just in case we are having problems. If after
trying both networks and you are still having problems, contact our technical
support department. During normal business hours you can telephone support 603-740-5666
(normal business hours are Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM until 5:00 PM E.S.T.) Email
support is provided 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

SOCKS
5 And Sockscap Support
If you have problems that you can not over come
use sockscap. Sockscap is a freeware program put out by NEC. Many people like
using sockscap when they have many different Internet programs because once sockscap
is configured for the proxy server, you do not need to configure any of your Internet
programs. Simply click and drag your Internet programs into the sockscap program
control window, start the program, and you are running on the proxy! It is this
easy. Full instructions for downloading and setting up sockscap can be found here.
CuteFTP Version 4.2.5 Build 10.4.1 was used
for this lesson. The latest version of CuteFTP can always be downloaded from http://www.globalscape.com/
