Hi there, I'm trying to run SL on a Mac for the first time, and I'm under a firewall.
I've put the proxy number and port in the program but it still will not connect, any suggestions?

Thanks!

EDIT: The message I recieve when I try to log in is:
Unable to connect to server
Cound not request domain name: userserver.agni.lindenlab.com

Hiya Vitae. From what I've seen SL still doesn't quite use the socks4/5 proxy like it should. When it connects it issues a 'protocol version check.' Even with Proxy settings enabled it will still try to establish a connection from localhost:12034 -> server:12036

First it will issues the DNS request (again, not using the proxy settings) for that address. Then it will attempt that connection.
