The answer depends on which client you're using.

If you don't have Polipo installed, you can set <br>> the proxy server options to "SOCKS", "127.0.0.1", and "9050" <br>> respectively to route traffic directly into the Tor client. I'd make <br>> sure "Resolve hostnames through proxy" is checked, and although I <br>> cringe at the thought of using so much of the network's bandwidth, I <br>> suppose "Use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections" is the magic <br>> checkbox you're looking for. (All this assumes you haven't changed any <br>> of the default ports).<br>> <br>> But really, a simple Google search of "<your client's name> over Tor" <br>> or similar will yield you much more specific results, with pictures, <br>> even.
