Also posted in prefs.ini topic.. Sorry about that.
I can't get EVE to connect at work, but I do get EVEmon to run...
In EVEmon I have the following options:
Use custom proxy settings: Here I enter the Host and port. Together with authentication settings where I enter my username and pass.
That got EVEmon to connect. Does EVEmon use the same port as EVE does? And if it does how can I get these settings done for EVE in prefs.ini? And if it doesn't I have to get port 26000 opened right?
Many thanks in advance!

There is probably a reason you cannot get it working at work.
Try going to your boss/it manager, and ask if they will relax the restrictions that prevent you from playing. Either they'll say yes, and bobs your uncle, or they'll say no, in which case, STOP TRYING TO PLAY EVE AT WORK, YOU LAZY SCUMBAG! ---- Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*coughcough*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrr!! |

EveMon only need to access an HTTP server to download the info. That's exactly what a browser does. The file it downloads is not an HTML file, but the protocol it uses is still HTTP.
The EvE client does access a couple of HTTP servers early on upon startup (to check versions, download the advertising that you see on the login window etc.) but the game is not a browser based game and the communication protocol is not HTTP.
The proxy info you are using to have EveMon work are those of an HTTP proxy. Basically your computer cannot talk to the internet. It talks to a special server run by your employer and asks to that server a document that is located on the internet. That server then goes out to the internet and fetches the document for you.
The only way to have the EvE client working is to restructure your network so that your computer and the internet at large can talk directly. This may go thru firewalls and thru network address translation layers (if they are configured to not block the ports that EvE uses) and probably even thru a tunneling protocol (never tried that, but should work) but it still require some sort of communication path between you and the internet.
The only kind of proxy that may work in this case (also something I never tried) is a socks proxy (are those still in use or have them been 100% replaced by NAT?).

Do like I did, convince your network admin you need port 26000 open in order to use a piece of software critical to your job.
