Could someone recap the port issue and NAT flag? What ports must be opened on the firewall to allow for incoming and outgoing connections?
The NAT flag- Do you enable it on a workstation that is outside the local lan?

Look at your log files and you'll know soon enough if you have the issue. Here is an example from mine: ------------------------- 2/5/2003 9:07:25 AM ImServer Failed to push local presence to ... Error=Failed to connect to 192.168.0.162 on port 5178 ------------------------- I opened up 5178 outgoing from the IM server, 5177 incoming on my workstation, set the Nat flag and it started working. TCP only. You don't need the nat flag on a workstation that connects directly to the im server without natting but I guess that's obvious. Most of our clients have firewalls though and most nat so the nat setting is a problem on install. Terry Fritts Smart Business Solutions, Inc.
