I'm trying to get ICQ on win98 out through a Linux firewall with not much luck so far. It sometimes works, usually mostly fails when the other end is also behind a firewall. I've got the above (CONFIG_*) configged in, have ipmasq installed with the following in rc.boot/ipmasq: ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 (192.168.1.2 is the win98 box and 192.168.1.1 the firewall) This is supposed to make ICQ happy but it fails with "setsockopt: Protocol not available": /usr/sbin/ipautofw -A -r tcp 2000 4000 -c udp 4000 -u It looks like you (Steve) have ICQ working OK. Whatsa trick? Rick --
