Re: Not that simple (was Re: ICQ over IP Masquerading)
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.
