my /etc/resolv.conf file

<resolv_conf>
nameserver 192.168.0.1
<resolv_conf>

It contains the ip address of the gateway / dns
server. For browsing I define 192.168.0.3 or 2 in
proxy's addresses.

I asked the admin of ISA server, he told me that they
are using Socks4 on their server.

Yesterday I tried using runsocks (sock5) but I just
couldn't understand it properly. Any guidlines or
hints or online links for help in this ?

The ISA admin has opened all these ports for me.

Even after going through the above I was not able to
fetchmail (same canonical dns name).

Any help in this regard will be highly apreciated.
