Hi guys I am a newbie based in China Shenzhen, I just managed to hook up to Sammyboy and I think China block out the access for a month or so here. Any good advise to give to a newbie like me?

I think the problem lies with certain Internet Service Provider.

The ISP we used in our aprt in SZ cannot assess to ICQ most of the time. We cannot send out email thru Outlook Express some of the time but can receive emails most of the time.

Talked to their technical staff, seems like they could not help...thus we will have to change to another ISP when our contract with them ends.

Most of the time i dun pack my laptop to china..........so at times i got to resort to using their "wan bar" / internet bar.

Jialat! Their hotmail / msn is chinese version and seems different from ours...i cannot log in also, not sure why.

For those of you who travels to countries like China (where the government has certain restriction and control regarding the use of Internet, including Singapore), you might like to try this DNS software out.

Treewalk DNS - http://ntcanuck.com/

It is free to use and basically what it does is to act as your DNS server instead of the one the ISP is using. I had been using it for the past 6 months and haven't had any problem connecting to any sites unless they are down.

Another easy to use DNS server will be Simple DNS Plus. Quick to install, maintenance free, but you will have to pay for the software key.

Simple DNS Plus - http://www.jhsoft.com/

If a particular ISP has proxy restriction (e.g Singapore ISPs), then the solution will be to use an alternative public proxy that you can find on a lot of proxy information sites. Although finding an actually useable proxy will probably takes sometime as a lot of them listed usually goes dead in a few days when there are too many users.

I once wrote a perl script that scans through a whole list of proxies and quickly find you one that is live, useable and anonymous. However, you will have to have ActivePerl installed before you can use the script. If any of you need this, let me know and I see if I can wrap it up with some quick instructions.

Best regards,
Chew
