If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
From what I understand, you only have access to a proxy.
RuneScape wants a direct Internet access to port 43594/tcp (with a gateway instead of a proxy), as well as access to a DNS server (typically your ISP's). This requires setting upon connection sharing on the FC6 box. Using FireStarter sounds a good idea for this.
Your dad could:
- setup connection sharing on the FC6 box,
- then restrict outgoing traffic except for:
- DNS ports (53 udp+tcp)
- runescape's port (43594 tcp)
- connections coming from the local computer
Curiously though, it doesn't seem runescape requires 43594 precisely - it ran fine when I blocked this port. But it still requires direct access to another port (it used https/443 instead).
Or, you'll need something like this:
