Works fine except for no chat groups (or something like that). Be careful with
your firewall timeout settings in ICQ (they should be less than 5 minutes, the
default UDP timeout for Linux masquerading).

Works fine with ip_masq_irc module.

Can't give a definitive answer about any of these. If these are peer-to-peer
type games (like battlezone or starcraft), then you'll have problems. You'll
need to enable loose-udp, which comes included in the new 2.2.0 kernel, and
which you can get patches for older kernels at

Quake and Quake2 will both work fine if only one person is connecting to a
particular server at a time. That is, you and your roomie-to-be are not
playing in the same game. If you want to play in the same game, you'll need
the ip_masq_quake module.
Quake works fine with the ip_masq_quake module
Quake2 needs a port line when the module is added, or to modify the source
to that module to include the default quake2 port (27910) and some others
(I include 27911, 27912 and some others like 27920 and 27966 that I see
frequently in gamespy).
I *think* the command is 'insmod ip_masq_quake ports=27910,27911' or some-
thing like that (like 'port' instead of 'ports')... anyone know for sure?
