i wish to have my application be able to use my internet application. but if a person who uses my application is behind firewall or proxy server, and the person can only use port 80, what can i do? i saw imesh and other internet apps being able to support socks 4/5. is this the way to go? are there other easy alternatives? could you guys point me to some good tutorial on using socks 5 in java? do i need a dedicated server to be a socks server? thanks! sorry for the many questions...i''m new to socks...thanks agian!

I''ve never heard of ''socks 5''. What are you talking about? Port 5? Try port 80 it might work.
Search Sun''s socket programming forum. IIRC SOCKS stuff should be more or less handled by Java but you need to set a few properties manually.
@Anonymous Poster - no, it''s not ''port 5''...
@overnet - ok will ask there instead. thanks.
