    my thought too are with mercutio and vlad. you will never forget the loss but be mindful that the pain does subside. after a while you have only the best and most fond of memories which are yours to cherish forever.

    the problem isn't finding the proxy, it's that our proxy requires separate authentication and the console version doesn't appear to support that. i tried editing the client.cfg file but it didn’t work. maybe i can't get the syntax right although the client.cfg file for the graphical and console...

    the console version really needs some work imho. it locks up my win XP athlon XP2000+ machine and it can't handle proxies that require authentication so all the F@H's i'm running are the graphical version.
