Anyone else getting the following error when they try to request a password or refresh the table list?

Error: Socket Error # 10051 -- Network is unreachable

I already Emailed Ben about it, just thought it would be helpful to him to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

Do you require an HTTP proxy to access the Internet? That might be it. Also, if you have some firewall software or ZoneAlarm and blocked SS, you might also see that error.

YES, I do need an HTTP proxy to connect on my school's wireless network. So what's the solution?

I emailed Ben the following, but will post it here in case some tech geek knows the answer:

Hi again...here's a little more info for you that might help you diagnose my problem...although I'm not sure how much time you want to spend catering to my individual situation.

So I googled the error that I keep getting, and check this page out...it looks like an error that's generated when my ISP blocks a certain port

Now I didn't really know what that meant, but it jogged my memory to something I saw just yesterday when I was setting up my internet account with my school here in Australia (just got here yesterday). The following may or may not mean anything to you, but I'll copy it here. I have to connect to my school's wireless computer network using a VPN client...here's a snippet from the installation instruction web page that might have something to do with my problem, but note that I've tried the below both with and without the extra "!10" and it doesn't make SS work:

The Cisco Systems VPN Client we provide is preconfigured to log into our VPN host using a number of different profiles. Which one you use depends on how you connect your computer to the physical network which links it to our servers.

wireless

This profile should be used when connecting to the Wireless Network. Wireless users must connect via VPN to use any resources apart from secure university sites.

If you want to access external mail servers using a mail client, or chat programs such as MSN Messenger using the wireless profile then you need to use your login followed by !10 (abcd1234!10) when you authenticate, this gives you a 10 network address just like you are dialing in through the modem pool.
You will need to use the Usyd web-proxy when using VPN with the wireless profile.
