Hi Matthew Are you running any type of firewall at all which is preventing any >outgoing or incoming connections on the ICQ ports at all? definitely not ...... Apana Brisbane policy is that all permanent users are responsible for their own firewall stuff ... however we must use a http proxy at 203.3.126.3 port 3128 I am running >FreeBSD 3.2 Release at home and have a firewall running, and either with or >without the firewall, ICQ works fine. OK > >Like Steven, I am using ppp -alias -background ISP or ppp -ddial ISP ... >using internal IP addresses, which whether they are real or not, shouldn't >make a difference as far as I can see. thats what I figure ..... ppp shouldn't be able to tell the difference either way > >I am new to FreeBSD, but hope that this may help. I don't believe that you >need to run a SOCKS firewall at all, but I can check my settings when I get >home tonight for ICQ and let you know if you like. > >Talk to you later, and hope this helps.
