(Already tried sending this, but it bounced back... apologies if it went through twice!) I've had a great time on the net since setting up a FreeBSD gateway! I love this OS already. But here's a question.... When I try to use IRC, many servers insist that I run "inetd" or they'll boot me off. So, I can run inetd, and they'll let me log on from an IRC client running on the FBSD gateway. But, if I try to run a client on a private machine *behind* the gateway they boot me off every time, whether or not inetd is running on the gateway. (Seeing as the machine in question is a Mac, I couldn't run inetd on that anyway). So what's up? Is this peculiar to IRC or have I got my configuration wrong somewhere? Other protocols and services work fine: ssh, ftp, http, DNS etc. Thanks Wincent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
