Here's another 5 cents worth ..... I use Win98 / Win2000 Server / Win2000 Server machines on a LAN with a FreeBSD 3.2 gateway / router running a permanent dialup modem connection. I've never been able to get the regular version of ICQ working on LAN boxes, but the special "ICQ for NetMeeting" version works fine and keeps connected for weeks at a time ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris England" <cengland@obscurity.org> To: "stephen" <serenity@tcainternet.com> Cc: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, December 20, 1999 9:13 PM Subject: Re: icq temporarly disconnects > Hi Stephen, > > I had a similar problem to this when using my FreeBSD as a gateway > (connecting to the InterNet via ppp -alias) > > My windows machine was behind it, and for some odd reason, I was popping > in and and out of people Online lists every couple of minutes. > > I remember finding a partial soluation to the problem, and that was > playing with the different types of connectivity options available to you > in the ICQ configuration.
