I will check if it works at home (I'm at work at present), but I believe I already tried something like this and didn't seem to work. I'll give it a try anyway.

and now just add user32.supernet.pl behind localhost. In my /etc/hosts it looks like this :
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost josephine
I don't know, whether it is the only correct solution, but it works fine ;)
