OT ? - Need help with dante socks proxy on debian

["Pedro Miguel Ruivo (TRQV-DSI)" <PRuivo@tranquilidade-vida.pt>]

I have a debian linux box at home which acts as a proxy server betwen my
cable modem and my home pc to access the internet, i have no ip forwarding
and depend on aplication level proxy's to access the internet.

I have squid which allows me to browse the web however i need other
aplications to connect to the internet like msn messenger, ICQ, http on
high ports,....

These aplications, including the browser have a setting to configure a socks
proxy server so i installed dante, configured it, and tryied, without any
success.

Is dante supposed to work on this kind of setup ? do i need to install a
socks client on my win200 home pc ?
my config is the following, if you can give me a help i'd appreciate.

Thanks
Pedro Ruivo
