socks server

Hi,

my Linux distribution comes with a package for "Dante Socks"
(www.inet.no/dante/). All sample configurations I found about Dante are
meant for dual homed machines, e.g. the bastion host between Intra- and
Internet. I intend however to install it on a machine in the Internet in
order to "tunnel" from the Intranet to the Internet. On the long run I will
have to set up proper authentication, but for the first trials I intend to
discard security, since I will only start the service for a few minutes.

Can anybody have a look at the following excerpts from my /etc/socksd.conf
and tell me, why I always get

block(0): tcp/connect [: <myDslAddress>.Port -> <WebServer>.80

in /var/log/messages when I set the proxy in my MSIE to <SocksHost:1080> and
try to access <WebServer>


/etc/socksd.conf:
....
logoutput: syslog /var/log/dante
seems to be ignored. Logs still go to /var/log/messages
internal: eth0 port=1080
external: <IpAddressOfEth0>
method: username none
clientmethod: none
does "none" mean "no authentication required" or "no access at all"?
client pass {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0
}
pass {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
command: bindreply udpreply
log: connect error
}
....

I consider this configuration quite deliberate, probably too deliberate for
real deployment, but even this one does not work.

Any ideas
