Glen, I don't have trouble with Netscape and Proxy, just with MS Internet Explorer versions 4 and higher. I am not sure I know how, or if I want to, change to socks. I like proxy for 2 reasons, additional security, and fewer changes were necessary for an Internet connection. I will look into socks though, and consider the change.
