I can certainly answer the first question. One of the Chimera preference categories (under Favorites) is "Web Access". In that category you can tell Chimera to use a proxy web server and designate that proxy. Doing so will allow registration to work through a firewall. I will defer to those more learned than myself on the second question.

Hi Thomas: A couple of question:

1) Chimera registration: When I try to register from our institute, behind a firewall, I can not register, I received an error message as there were not internet connection. For my personal computer is not a problem. I can do it from home, but for other computers at the institute, it could be a problem. I would like to update all our versions from chimera, so..how to deal with the registration problem afterwards?

2) VRML export of pdb file representations: As far as I know Chimera can export surfaces of density maps to VRML format. It is possible to export some representation of a pdb files, like ribbons, sphere or sticks also to VRML?. There are some programs that do it, so maybe could be a nice feature to introduce in Chimera (if is not already possible).

Greetings, Julio
