I live in university halls of residence and have to use proxy servers to connect to world of warcraft. I installed putty and freecaps with wine, freecaps seems to run okay but putty I get to the login screen and I cant type anything into the black box. Is there a way to get these programs to run with wine? Is there perhaps an alternative proxy server program(s) which I could use to connect to WoW?

If you are using SSH with PuTTY, you can use the command-line ssh client with the -D option to create a socks proxy for port-forwarding... (I' not sure of an alternative to FreeCAPs, but I'm sure something exists... (It would have been quite nice if Wine supported socks proxies for ALL TCP networking under Wine...))
Regardless wither you are using linux or windows, you need to get the remote ssh login to work 1st, before you even try to make the tunnel. Originally I followed the guide here: http://www.buzzsurf.com/surfatwork/ Which I later adapted to use under linux. Under windows I use putty with -D switch, in linux I use Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gstm/ FreeCap sort of works under wine with WoW, but it consumes all cpu resources making the FPS unplayable. Wish there was native wine "socksify" support for windows apps. :-(
