I stay on a campus with all the computers connected to the internet through a proxy server running http and ftp services on port 3128. For a while now, I've been trying to telnet to a system outside the network but it just isn't working. Now, i know that some people have used tunneling and could connect. But I just can't seem to be able to do it. I've tried desproxy, but it isn't working. I can telnet to any of the servers set up within the campus but not outside. I don't think i'll be able to ask the Administrator(s) to open a port for me because there is too much bureaucracy involved. Is there any way to configure telnet to use the proxy server? There is another thread devoted to the same topic, but it's been closed. Can anyone help me out? I'm using http-tunnel for kazaa. Can I use the same thing with telnet?
