Well, I've tried everything I can think of to get this thing to work, but it just won't go. I guess it just can't handle my kind of firewall (which is very strict). Sucks to be me I guess...

Same problem over here! I got to give it another try this weekend!

Well, as it stands in the qseti.txt, the proxy-settings is under testing, indicating that it's not always they work.

Taking a look on proxomitron, if you run the last version, you can add a line to the general section in your config file, reading:
Promiscuous = TRUE
Then you load this, you can instead of localhost use your computername if NT, or ip-address as proxy-setting. You can probably still not run SetiQueue, but since the seti@home-client works with proxomitron, you should now have the opportunity to fire up seti@home on the sun-machines, pointing them to your machine.

Hope this works.

Excellent point rattledagger, but that way it doesn't do any caching. With the reliability of seti these days, it's almost not worth running unless you've got some form of caching going. I may give it a shot anyway though...

Wow, setiproxy is awesome. It's much easier to use than setiqueue, runs on any platform with a java runtime environment, and has a fancy http interface for configuration. I like it. I may even put together a little guide for getting it going on both win32 and linux (both of which I've got working with less than 30 minutes of work).

Edit: forgot to mention, setiproxy also natively supports proxy authentication, so I don't have to screw around with proxomitron anymore either...
