I think the problem Lee ran into is the same I ran into the first time. When I opened up /etc/privoxy/config, there was already some stuff in there, but I went ahead and just pasted your sample file at the bottom since you didn’t say to delete anything. Then privoxy got stuck in “refreshing” for a while, and eventually died. When I deleted the stuff that was in there from before my pasting, everything was happy. It might help to modify your step 3 to indicate that the old contents of the file should be deleted.

Assuming you did everything in my howto I want you to check a few things.

1.
Open System -> Services, and check if the service TOR and Privoxy is running. Set them both to start on boot.
You should both Enable and Start the services.

Try it now if you have turned both services on. Did it work now?

2.
Double check you have edited the correct file with the correct info under point 3.

That is all I can help you with so far.
To make it work on my Asus Eee Pc under Fedora 10 I did exactly what I wrote in the howto, in hope it would be the same for everyone else. :)

I using Fedora 10. After installing tor and privoxy, service configuration indicates privoxy service is being refreshed right now. And when my browser tor is enabled, my network is blocked when I tried to go to https://check.torproject.org.

What else I should look at to make it work? My XP works OK.
