I am having some difficulties with the Telefinder Client software and am
hoping you can help. We currently have 28 remote locations, and use the
Telefinder software to connect to an e-mail and BBS server at a central
location. However, some of the remote locations have an NT Proxy server in
place for use as a firewall and Internet filtering. In these locations, I
cannot get the Telefinder software to connect to our central server.

We are using TCP/IP connections rather than dialups in all locations. I have
opened port 1474 on the Proxy servers (both Winsock and SOCKS Proxy) but to
no avail. I believe some of the problem stems from the fact that we are
using internal IP addresses (10. numbers) and are trying to reach a server
using a registered address (a 208. address). I have not been able to find
anything on the Telefinder Client software that will allow me to point it to
the NT Proxy server.

Is there something special I need to set up on the Proxy server to allow the
Telefinder software to go through? Or, is there a setting on the software
that will point Telefinder to the Proxy? I'm sure I'm not the only person
who has run into this problem. FYI, we are using both Mac and Windows
clients... neither works. Any information you can give me would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks for your help.
