You'd better check the configure script just in case I've mis-spelled the option. >>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. Same here - I can't receive files (which isn't an ICQ problem but a firewall/socks problem) and more often than not sending a message (either directly or through the icq servers) hangs for around five minutes. Some days it's fine, others it isn't. >I've noticed the same thing for a while.

Slightly off-topic but any ideas when ICQ99 will be beyond alpha release? >BTW, I'm running from a cable modem with a static IP. V90 modem with dynamic IP, using ipfw, socks5, and apache as proxy server. Currently serving a 95 box and an NTWS box with Internet access. Erm, that's just in case anyone was interested. >--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 FBSD3.0 : AMD PR75 : 32MB RAM : 335MD HD : V90 modem : NE2000 NIC apache 1.3.4+PHP3 : named : qpopper: socks5 : ipfw : mysql : samba To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
