What you need is redirect _incoming_ ICQ traffic - what I mean is traffic initiated from outside of your network - on the NAT host to a particular machine on your internal net, i.e. your ICQ host. For this you need to know the port(s) ICQ is using, I don't know them. Once you know them, you should be able to use the "redirect_port" directive (see natd(8), contains an example for telnet) to redirect the traffic to an internal machine. > Also, I have a friend that I helped get set up on FreeBSD with the same > set-up as me, but he is using a regular modem instead of a cable modem. > Now neither he or I can send ICQ messages to each other, we have to always > send them through the ICQ server. The cure is the same as above for both sides. > Matthew Regards, Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
