I don't understand this code.  What is Proxy?

It looks to me like you're creating a Socket that is trying to physically 
connect to that hash value (SocksHost) as a host, which is not going to work 
at all.  What you want to do is physically connect to 192.168.1.100, and then 
send the hash value in a packet over this connection.
