I'm running 2.2.5's NAT. Some problem apps I've noticed: ICQ (if 'always use real ip' is turned on and not using a SOCKS5 proxy. things like sending files or initiating chats don't always work right) NetMeeting / PowWow (or many other voice chat apps, like Roger Wilco) IRC (if an identd request is done) Quake (if more than 1 user connects to the same server, as the server only handles 1 client per IP, doesn't apply to QuakeII or (i think) QuakeWorld) Some natd code may have changed between 2.2.5 and 3.0-Stable to make these apps behave differently though. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 ( ludwigp@email.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
