Socks5 likes to log everything to wherever root is logged in. >Now, I don't care about the errors per se, but the general functionality of >the ICQ client behind the firewall is affected by as opposed to on a bare dial >connection is noticeable, such as server time outs and the like. I've noticed the same thing for a while. What seems to work for me (finally) is ICQ 99a (www.icq99.com), with the SOCKS5 server set (internal and external IPs, no hostnames), 'Always use Real IP' off, and I did an nslookup on icqalpha.mirabilis.com and entered all of the IP addresses into my servers list, one-by-one. BTW, I'm running from a cable modem with a static IP. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 ( ludwigp@email.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
