Proxy & other network related problem. Please help

Ok folks I'm having a few minor problems with my network that I want to resolve but I can't figure out how to solve them. Let me give you a basic layout of my network. I have a total of 4 PCs on the network, two of them are running Windows 98 SE, one is running Windows 2000 Pro (my main PC), and one is running Mandrake Linux 8. I have 3 of them hooked directly into a 10/100 8 port switch and one goes through a wireless access point hooked up to the switch.
Here's the problem, I setup AnalogX's proxy on the Windows 2000 box so that the laptop PC that's hooked up wirelessly could have internet access. Now the laptop can access the internet through the proxy but it cannot do to things on the net for some strange reason.
1) It cannot connect to an irc server at all, no matter what I try it just can't resolve the server's name.

2) It cannot retrieve/send e-mail no matter what client I use.

Now, I think the irc server problem may be because I don't have full SOCKS 5 support, but the e-mail one baffles me since this proxy server is supposed to support it. Anybody have any ideas or freeware proxy server alternatives that will allow me to access IRC & e-mail along with the other usual things?

Now this one has probably been asked a bajillion times but I can't seem to remember what the answer is to the question. I want to share a folder on my Windows 2000 box with the laptop on the network. I create the share and give the necessary users permission to read from it. However while the laptop can see the Windows 2000 box on the network just fine it does not see the share that I created. I have renamed & enabled the guest account so that its username/password coincides with the laptop's login for the network. I can see the folders available on the Linux SAMBA box & read the files from it just fine. So, I'd appreciate an answer to this question as well.
 
U don't have to use any proxy software, W2K have it's own ICS and works fine but if u want more security get a firewall software
or to make ur life more easier get a broadband(CABLE/DSL) router. For use the W2K ICS go to the Network and Dialup Connections
and go to the properties of the connection to the internet, click on the tab of sharing and enable it. With is ur W2K PC is gonna asign the tcp/ip
configuration to the rest of the PC's(ip address, dns, gateway). For the folders sharing problems i think ur problem is the AnalogX software,
because this is a firewall software, the software it's maybe blocking the access to the folder in some way but i have to tell that this is a very strange
problem and maybe is not the software, but start trying disable it(AnalogX).
 
Hi there

Just to let u know Dalnet doesnt allow Proxies
Enable the ident server in the IRC software you use.
And if the IRC finds out that you are connecting through a proxy it may ban you
even you may have routing and Authorisation Problems ..
That is Why Socks proxies with Non standard ports are to be used .
 
Ahhhh I had forgotten all about that, DOH hope I didn't accidently get myself banned from any of the IRC servers I frequent. Ok, still using AnalogX but I'll get a different proxy up and running with a configurable set of ports and set the SOCKS to something like 1120 I guess. Hopefully that'll fix my problem.
