IRC and Firewall
Hi, I'm sitting behind a firewall and want to use IRC. The firewall does masquerading and is also limiting incoming and outgoing traffic. I thought the problem may be identd which can not access my machine behind the firewall. But iptraf shows also that my connection is not answered (the S bit is displayed). Thanks in advance. Sven
