Only open port is 1080 used as socks4 which i use to connect using msn for example or messengers.. and the http proxy is 80
how is i possible to update AOM through these settings ??
AOM ports how to change them..

one possible theory (its possible, but it could prove to be hard to accomplish) is that you use a software like Wingate to intercept the traffic from AOM and pipe it through youre firewall to the outside world using the open ports in the firewall (I take it is a firewall beyond youre control, at work perhaps?). however, just piping AOM to port 80 wont do any good as AOM needs a diffrent port to talk to AniDB, so its needed on the outside a second Wingate to recieve the pipe from the internal Wingate and send the AOM data to AniDB on the right ports that AniDB will accept.
in effect, you'll need three computers to do this.
computer one is running AOM and it is connected to computer two via a twisted network cable.
computer two has two network interfaces (example, built in and a USB LAN dongle) where one interface is connected to the work's network while the other is connected to computer one.
what computer two will do is listen on the USB LAN interface (used in this example) and the Wingate will pick up all traffic generated by computer one and send it directly to computer three on specified port 80 in this example.
computer three sits outside the firewall and has a copy of wingate running and listening for connections from the company ip on port 80. when computer three recieves data from computer two it retransmit the data using the right ports to the specified address which in this case is AniDB and all replies from AniDB is then transmitted back to computer two which in turn will relay the answer to computer one.
a friend of mine did this at his work to be able to connect to and chat on his favorite IRC network. he had a USB LAN interface on his work computer and he connected his laptop to his main computer and got it to pipe the laptops data traffic out of the company network to his home computer that resided on a dsl line. the firewall at his work was bulletproof (fortunate enough, it didnt analyze the traffic and stopped the traffic that wasnt allowed), the one and only accessible port was port 80 and it only accepted outgoing transmissions, however, a firewall works in that way once its accepted a outgoing connection it must accept the incomming reply from the target ip so once the wingate started sending data to his home computer it also allowed the replies back in.. my friend did this for about 1.5 years before he switched jobs and his new employer wasnt so strict on the firewall rules.

if you have free access to that socks proxy you mentioned there might be a simpler solution.
IIRC there are some socks mapper utilities out there which would then forward i.e. 127.0.0.1:9000 through the socks proxy to the anidb server port 9000.
I have no idea where to find such tools though
BYe!
