Socks, proxys, wingates..

I've setup my firewall directive to the wingate on port 1080 in my eggdrop.conf file yet when I load the bot up I see in the partyline when connecting to a irc server this:

[23:09] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: [unknown@255.255.255.255] (Connection Timed Out)

I get this for every irc server and network... Please help me

WinGate is not a firewall.

Well I don't exactly mean wingate, I mean a socks4 proxy that I know eggdrop supports... So what is wrong with it then ...?

Can you use other applications via the socks proxy?

Yes I've been able to use mIRC with it no problems , and I had it set to socks4
