A solution for this was mentioned in the previous "ICQ with NAT problems" thread, passing in everything from 205.188.153.[97,102] on port 4000. This has stopped ICQ from disconnecting regularily. Although I can't make much sense of it, the newer versions of ICQ shouldn't be using UDP or port 4000 anymore.. > I have had terrible trouble with icq...

Yes it has ads on every message window you open. Really sucks. But I am sure the crack for 2001b isn't far away..that's at least a way to get rid of them. thanks and regards -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
