Yes.. you have to use IPPORTFW, reconfigure ICQ to use a:
- non-SOCKS firewall
- use ports 2000-2020
- enable firewall timeouts to 30 seconds.
For more details on IPPORTFW, check out TrinityOS
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS.wri
Btw.. though the Linux MASQ Applications page states to use IPAUTOFW
all over the place. DON'T USE IT. It just isn't nearly as reliable
as Steven Clarke's IPPORTFW tool.
