Hmmmm. I've actually received files from behind my masquerade box. I'm not sure how the other person's set up. I have to have mine set for 'peer-to-peer' mode in order for it to connect to the server at all, and then have it set to go through a non-socks firewall.
I do have all the masquerade helpers compiled as modules, and have kernel module loading turned on, if that helps any. --Ian On Sun, 6 Dec 1998, Guoqiang Dai wrote: > > > [long boring :) text removed] > > You need to study a bit more into the subject to back yourself up before > laughing at other people. > > > ICQ worked out of the box for me.
