Photomandy, did you try this?
also in \tools\foxtproxy\more\global settings\, select 'use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookup'

 , That's what I had to do to get mine work, changing it in tools/options/advanced/network/settings sounds like it would work too. |

Here's what I do:
- I've successfully installed Tetherbot.apk on my phone
- I've successfully installed the Android driver & SDK on my Windows Vista laptop
- I downloaded the FoxyProxy addon and configured it with the settings from this thread.
- I turned off my WiFi and made sure that the network.proxy.socks_remote_dns setting from the about:config was set to True
- I have enabled USB debugging
- I connect my phone to my laptop with the USB cord
- I go to the Tetherbot app on my phone and Start Socks
- I run adb from the cmd line. It says "daemon started successfully"
- I set FoxyProxy to "Tetherbot".
I try to load a page and get "The proxy server is refusing connections". I restart Firefox and get the same error.
I have rebooted and started all over from the beginning several times. I have never gotten it to work.
Can anyone please please help me? We travel a lot and I use tethering all the time... I was crushed when I found out the G1 didn't support tethering.  I feel like I am doing everything right and this really should work! Is there something I'm overlooking?
Thanks so much for your help... |
