    Would you please elaborate on how you did this? I tried this in the past
    with no luck, and again after reading your post...

    With WebProxy, even with no access controls set (if that is what you mean by
    "everyone->anywhere") and no packet filtering, I was not able to have the
    external interface proxy for me from the outside world. I even went as far
    as to add my [external] address to the LAT table!

    Particularly the Winsock proxy... I would love to know how you did that. I
    changed my mspclnt.ini to point to the external address of the proxy,
    disabled all access controls, and got absolutely nowhere. And again, I
    added the external address to the LAT table (which i think would be a
    requirement for the winsock proxy client to work...) This was of course all
    done externally in the same way that an attack would have to be.

    Thanks!
