[Resolved] Connect through a other program, using winsock?

[wronex]

I need a server program that can liste for a connection though "internet explorer". And then a client will connect to the server and send some data back and forth. I need it to sneak by the firewall and get access to internet.
And "internet explorer" has default access to the internet.

"I need to connect through a program like "internet explorer" when I connect to a client whit winsock. I need to sneak by the firewall and get access to internet. I'm allmost shure this is possible, because when you compile a program in vb6 it can connect whitout being detected. "
Re writen...

Thanks in advance.

what is the contraints of the firewall? does it just block port 80 so people cant access web pages?

is the goal to get internet access through internet explorer? what do you mean it can connect, connect to what? or does your app listen for IE to connect?

Ohh...sorry.
I want my server program (on my computer) to listen for a connection throug "internet explorer", and then the client (on a remote computer) will connect to the server. And then send data back and forth.
I want it to use "internet explorer" as some sort of way out throug the firewall. Because the firewall will complane if it detects the connection.

It would be nice if the port could be 80, 21, 23 or annything that the most routher dosnt block default.

what sort of data do you want to transfer back and forth, web pages?

you could do this if you can change the internet explorer settings on the remote computer, as you will need to set IE to use a proxy which will be your computer. At my university, they blocked access to REGEDIT which is the program from windows that allows you to edit the registry, but I can modify the registry via my compiled vb app, so if you cant change the setting for the remote IE, you could try doing it through VB in the registry

I'd like to send images and zip, exe maybe. And strings. If its possible.

I need some thing like this:
client.exe ---> #internet# ---> internet explorer ---> server.exe
server.exe ---> internet explorer ---> #internet# ---> client.exe

it would be much much sooooooo much easier if you can run your vb app on the remote host so it would work like this...

home pc listening
|
|
# internet #
|
|
nework firewall
|
remote host

the question is, can you run a exe on the remote host? And will the firewall allow the exe to connect through port 80.

the fw should allow it to connect because it will think its a web page HTTP request. Unless the admin has only allowed IE to have internet access.

[wronex]

Yes, port 80 worked. Thanks the182guy!

[the182guy]

so is this resolved now?

[wronex]
