Thanks for all the help, all you smart(er) guys.
Unfortunately still having problems. Himachi seems to be blocked, found a thread that says if you have to go through a proxy it won't work.
Tried all the the steps in the Illuminati thread. Thanks for that dxbusa. Howver get a Fatal Error on privoxy "can't check configuration file Control Port 9051:error number 2"
Don't have a clue what that means
Off to have a few coldies and watch the rugby. If any of you guys have helpful suggestions, I would be very grateful.
