Ah... now we start getting to the core of the problem. A different perception of "standard firewall". I will admit you have the correct technical definition of a firewall. However, from your own subject line you indicate "iptables". With iptables it is quite common to use the stateful connection tracking to allow response packets to existing established connections. Additionally, many implimentations of an iptables based firewalls that are providing NAT'ing server are intended to be transparent (as much as possible anyway) to the users they protect and NAT. With the above to conditions met, there is nothing additional that is needed for Licq to work. I run an iptables based firewall in several locations based on my own firewall script. There have been no special allowances made for Licq (or any icq clients for that matter) and they all happily work. > ps Jamin, no need to post message to list if it's only intended for > me.
