Hi! It is possible to make ICQ file transfer work without NAT. Shorewall documentation has example of ICQ file transfer settings, but it uses NAT. ZL
>It is possible to make ICQ file transfer work without NAT.If you have enough public IP''s for all clients you wish to allow to use ICQ, yes.
Just so i''m clear about this. Your answer is no. It is only possible with "nated" public ips. ZL> > >It is possible to make ICQ file transfer work without NAT. > > If you have enough public IP''s for all clients you wish to allow to use > ICQ, yes. > >

sorry for off-topic> > It is possible to make ICQ file transfer work without NAT. > > Yes.How so? AFAIK a file transfer is directed to the IP of the user -- with masq that would be my public IP of the firewall... I remember an option to force ICQ server usage, but don''t know if it is for chat only. Anyways, my client (GnomeICU, Linux) doesn''t have such option. karsten -- Hi, I''m a signature virus.

At any rate, look at http://shorewall.sf.net/1.2/myfiles.htm for an example of using ICQ with Masq. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net

At least, I don''t have to change my view of ICQ operating... Thanks, Tom, fast as usual... :) karsten -- Hi, I''m a signature virus. Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread!
