Okay I have compiled Tor (Onion Router) from source and it indicates it is working, see copied text below

Aug 11 22:04:19.001 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like it's working.


However when I point either Firefox or Konqueror at 127.0.0.1, port 8118 and try to access the internet I get message

The connection was refused when attempting to contact the proxy server you have configured. Please check your proxy settings and try again.

Any help would be appreciated, I am using Suse 9.3 and KDE 3.4. I have only been using Linux two weeks so I appreciate your help and patience.

The OP has solved this issue but did not post an answer.

Botman

I'd be interested in what the solution was - can you please post back here, so others can learn from you too.

Thanks

Did you star privoxy and tor?

My Firefox works but i have a problem with Konqueror. I don;t know what i am doing wrong with setup?? I choose a Manually specify settings...and i checked also Exceptions and there is localhost...and Konqueror doesn't works or. better tor doesn't works with Konqueror.
