Every now and again I log into my server through a proxy (at work). I have gotten it to work using Magic Launcher by creating a (windows) shortcut that runs this way:
Then inside magic launcher there is an "advanced" section to pass arguments to Minecraft as it launches, where I duplicated the above.
Now with 1.6.1 I'm trying to do the same thing. Things work ok until I hit the "connect to server" button, where it tries to Log in and fails with "failed to connect". I believe this is trying to log me in to verify my account is active, and not trying to connect to my server proper (logs don't show a connection attempt)
I tried to create a shortcut for the plain 1.6.1 launcher (1.0.8), but the arguments are apparently getting lost before getting into the launcher itself. It fails to contact the server to check for updates, and "play offline" is my only option, although the "news" section seems to load ok, or it was cached, not sure.
Has anyone gotten the new launcher to work with a proxy?
As a quick follow up, I have also tried going into the control panel, going to the java control panel app, and changing the default networking items to use "the browser default", and also specifying the proxies by hand. Neither has helped the 1.08 launcher.
With Magic launcher I get into the Multiplayer screen, double click on my server (which is green and looks ok),
"Logging in"
Failed to login: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
I also noted the 6 redstone "lights" on the bottom of the magiclauncher screen are lit up to indicate connections to all servers, including the login server....

Shortcut with this in the target:
C:\<path to Minecraft 1.6 Launcher>.exe --proxyHost <SOCKS5 proxy> --proxyPort <SOCKS5 port>
I still have not been able to get magiclauncher to work with this new setup....
