I have finally made some progress in running Winboard with timeseal from my pc behind a firewall. I have socksified winboard with SocksCap32 and when I run it this way I can connect into FICS with timeseal on. The problem is Winboard brings up a DOS window to login with on top of the normal Winboard window, and although I can log in with this window, if I try to play a game, the game window isn't used- it gives me a textboard in the timeseal dos-window. If I finger myself it shows that timeseal is on. However, no prompts whatsoever go into the normal interaction window and the game window is completely inactive. Is there a setting I need to use to get timeseal to work though the interaction window in Winboard and to make the game window active? I have tried setting style 12 in FICS and killing the timeseal window- no luck. I am running the standard FICS dialog statup option (freechess.org /icsport=5000 /icshelper=timeseal). I have messaged Tim Mann about this but got no response. Using this same process was successful in Cclient, but I hate Cclient and lose many more games because of its poor interface. Tim To reply remove z's from my e-mail address.
