I'm not sure exactly how you'd do this under FreeBSD, because I'm a newbie, but here's how I handled using IPRoute on a DOS machine, so it should be similar: In ICQ, go to the Connection tab and tell it you are behind a firewall, and that you don't use SOCKS,etc. The next window will show where you can select a range of ports to use. Set it to something like 3001 to 3010. It'll complain that that's too narrow, but works OK for me. Then in FreeBSD, tell it to direct any TCP packets coming in on 3001-3010 to the Windows machine. You also need outgoing UDP on Port 4000. Then just set another range for each machine that you want to use.
