Re: open ports

[Marcel Welschbillig <marcel@comdek.net.au>]

Tobias,

Are you using IP Masquerading ??

If you are you need to install a kernel module called ip_masq_icq for 
ICQ to work otherwise you will only be able to connect through the 
server and not directly i.e.. no file transfer or chat rooms but you 
will be able to message through the ICQ server. For full functionality 
you need the module.

The module can be found on --> http://freshmeat.net/

ICQ uses port 5190

Hope this helps with at least one of your problems !

Marcel
