Thank you for the suggestions. I took Charles' advice by installing socks5.lrp. Kim's IP_MASQ_ICQ module would work too but if the other end is behind the firewall it may not.
I tried last night on my son's machine and ICQ is OK, I can receive files. I have one more questions: how can I tell socks5 to listen to 2 interfaces. My config file /etc/socks5.conf looks like that: ... set SOCKS5_BINDINTFC 192.168.1.254:1080 .... interface 192.168.1. - eth1 interface - - eth0 auth 192.168.1. - - permit - - 192.168.1. - - - I would like to add the support to 192.168.2. subnet too. If I omiss this, I think it would listen to all interfaces and I do not want to expose to eth0. But I do not know how o set SOCKS5_BINDINTFC so it can also bind to eth2, port 1080 Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber Inc.
