ipmasq seems to be killing aim



I have a network with 1 debian woody system (kernel 2.4, iptables)
acting as the router/firewall/masquerader for the LAN.  I have another
debian system with jabber and aim-transport (which uses the "oscar"
protocol, not "toc").  My brother has a winme system with aim.exe.
Lately we've both noticed that the aim connection is dropped
periodically.  I didn't have any such problems in the previous 5
months while my system with jabber was connected directly to the
internet (public IP).  For now I'm running everybuddy (which uses
"toc") to monitor my online status so I'll know when I've been
disconnected.  Also, we both leave our account logged in (and idle)
for extended periods of time.  Does anyone have any experience with
this or any ideas on correcting it?  (hmm, I wonder if that router is
powerful enough to run aim-t.  I'll try it out later.)

BTW, since I set up squid as a transparent proxy, along with adzap as
a redirector, my brother's aim.exe no longer shows any ads!  LOL!
