the school deoesn't have a socks proxy, i'm sure of it because i had gotten through it earlier...
they now have block all bu port 80 and 3128 -- 80 for the webserver and 3128 for squid.
every app can use any address aside from hotmail, but they need to directly specify they should use server 192.168.0.1:3128 for any requests to the outside internet(red zone)
i tried it anyway and trem freezes on a black screen -- on a pc. on a mac there are still "command not found" errors.
