Hi there

I got the small problem, I would like to keep my ports collection 
update using cvsup but I don't have a direct connection to the 
internet. My Computer is on a network with my Fathers computer which 
is running windows xp.  Lets say I have full access to my fathers 
computer as long I don't remove windows xp. What would I have to do 
to my fathers computer and my in order to keep my ports collections 
updated.

I read the man pages something about cvsup using a socks proxy but 
where do I find this runsock(I look in the ports and try the 'which' 
command) and how do I use it. 

Any help, please

Grant
