Well,
I'm running Licq on my local router acting as a state firewall (iptables).
When licq runs on this firewall with public IP, then all users trying to sent
me a message have to wait for 30-50sec sending a message (icq tries to send
mesage directly and when it fails, it sends it via server -- and this takes
30-50sec).
When licq or icq runs behind the firewall (behind the NAT), all messages
are sent immediately (icq somehow realizes that direct connection is
not possible and sends it via server -- no slow down).
And now, I'd like licq to run on local IP instead of public IP, because Licq
would be behind the NAT and communication would be faster.
is it clear?
Thanks
Ales
PS. Sorry for my english ... still learning. ;-)
PS2. hint .. look at your Licq, select one person from the list, look
at his properities (Info) and look at IP ... i have there something like
public IP adress and port for Licqs running on public IP
and public IP adress and port / local IP and port for Licqs
running behind firewall (NAT)
PS3: If stil not clear ... have a model situation (not my), that PC has 3 IP
adresses (all public) and you would like to start licq on one of them
(u would chose ie. 2nd. IP manually), how would you do it?

I'm still not quite sure on what exactly it is you're trying to do, but
I'm probably just being slow. Anyway, I'll ramble a bit and maybe you
can pick up on where I'm taking a wrong mental turn.
Licq has to connect to a mirabilis server and possibly to other ICQ
clients. To do this it has to send out packets over the internet. When
it sends packets out over the internet the source address of those
packets has to be your public ip or things won't work (most likely the
packets won't arrive).
Now if all your communications run through the mirabilis server it's
possible to hide your ip from the people you're communicating with.
Mirabilis has a webpage about this feature at:
http://www.icq.com/directconnection/
Anything related to where you want to go? Otherwise, could you
elaborate some more on why you are trying to get Licq to 'run on IP
192.168.0.1'? Are you trying to use it for internal communications or
something?
