Hmm i have this setup here. I have a static IP on a dedicated dialup with
my Debian 2.0 as the main server for a small LAN. The debian box dials
into the isp (currently at 36 days dialed in :-) and acts as a link for my
wifes win 95 box. I installed the JavaICQ on Debian (what a pig) and the
regular ICQ on her 95 system. Both work fine and she doesnt have any
problems sending or recieving from anyone.
The only problem that I have is when I send to her I get the following:

Selecting to send it thru the server allows it to work fine. I have talked
to a few others who are on her contact list and they dont have this
problem. They simply send her a message and it goes thru normally.
