Socks v5 did not work, the page tried to load, but it never did.

Norman, I noticed in your followup you set the proxy server to
localhost. I have vague recollections that that doesn't always work
so I've gotten into the habit of using the localhost numeric ip of
127.0.0.1 as the socks proxy server address instead of the hostname.

Try setting your browser's proxy to a socks4 proxy of 127.0.0.1 on
port 1080 (or whatever local port number you fed to -D)

Thanks Todd, my mistake, I did use 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost.
Will play arround to see why the SOCKS v5 did not work.

Cheers
