SOCKS (firewall) support // WishlistdanielMay 17, 1998, 7:36am
Would be nice if the next version allows to connect from inside a firewall..
Look at ICQ.. that works too.. And objects can be still downloaded via HTTP Daniel facterMay 17, 1998, 9:41am

but wait- isn't this exactly the kind of software most employers were trying to
prevent their employees from using when they installed the firewalls in the first place? hehe grover [View Quote] > it's already supported in 2.0 =) > > F. > [View Quote] -- _______________________________________________________________ http://www.grovers.com/ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-.__ steve at grovers.com `6_ 6 ) `-.

email roland at activeworlds.com and ask to be a beta tester. You'll get
the latest builds as soon as they come off the compiler, without having to wait until the final, completed version. The catch? The betas are, by definition, un-tested and usually full of bugs. If you're a beta-tester, you have to accept this, and are more-or-less obligated to try your best to report any problems in a helpful way so that they can be fixed :-) have fun! grover [View Quote] > > And how do I get 2.0? > > I have 1.32 > > Daniel > > firewall.. -- _______________________________________________________________ http://www.grovers.com/ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-.__ steve at grovers.com `6_ 6 ) `-.

Of course, the other way to get it is to wait. When the new version is
"finished" it will be made readily available, and all you will have to do in order to find the upgrade is run ActiveWorlds once the new version is available. That's all there is to it. :) TechnoZeus [View Quote] trormond@utah.uswest.netMay 18, 1998, 2:25pm
*Most* firewalls are there to prevent the outside world from coming
*in*. The side benefit of limiting "games" is just that, a side benefit. [View Quote] |
