I am working with Quicken '04 and trying to back up with their online support, but it says that i need to provide information about the firewall that I am using:
Do not use a firewall
Select this option (it is the default) if you do not have a firewall, or if your company is using its own Data Center that is on the same side of the firewall as your computer.
Use SOCKS proxy firewall
If your firewall is a SOCKS proxy firewall, select this option. You must then provide your firewall's IP address and the port that the Agent should use to connect to the firewall. The Agent will use the SOCKS protocol to tell the firewall the IP address of the Data Center that it wants to connect to, as well as the port number (16384). No reconfiguration of your firewall is necessary if SOCKS is used.
Use proxy firewall server(s)
Select this option if you are using a non-SOCKS-compliant proxy firewall. You will need to configure both the Agent and your firewall to communicate. For each Data Center, enter your Firewall IP address
and TCP Port. You will need to make at least two entries, one for each of the mirrored Data Centers. The Agent will connect to your firewall on a particular port that you specify. The port it connects on will tell the firewall to connect to one of the Data Centers on port 16384.
Does anyone know how I can find this out? The firewall IP address and the TCP Port?

The Proxy address is usually port 8080 but my guess is your company is blocking all FTP transactions. The name of the proxy server would be soemthing like:
ourcompnay.ourdomainname.com
In my opinion, that and two cents will buy you a one cent piece of gum, don't back up online.
I have used Quicken for about 15 years now and have never backed up online. Your most sensitive data is out of your hands and who knows where it goes or who sees it. Invest $35 or so on a 128mb Flash USB drive and use this to backup your files and then easily move those files to any machine you need. Works great for me.
