Here is what it says <quote>
ipautofw -A -r tcp AAAA BBBB -h www.xxx.yyy.zzz
I have taken some discretion here as we've gotten lots of different
solutions to this program. I will summarize what I have seen as the best
method. I would like to thank everyone who was contributed in getting this
working properly. --Lee
First you will need to run the previous ipautofw command for each computer
that will be running ICQ. You want AAAA and BBBB to be at least 11 ports
apart. That is the minimum that ICQ will accept without complaining. Try to
seperate the port ranges so the problems with ipautofw aren't noticed so
badly (i.e. 2000-2010). You want to change www.xxx.yyy.zzz to the ip of the
machine running ICQ.
Then disconnect from the ICQ network. Go into the Preferences
folder/Connections tab and select "Permanent LAN" and "I'm behind a proxy
server/firewall." Then click on "Firewall Settings" and set ICQ to use the
range of tcp ports from AAAA to BBBB not the default automatic selection of
ports. Finally, reconnect to the ICQ network to apply the new settings.
Brian Manning has suggested adding a forward for port 4000 to allow the
client machines to go through the registration process

Hmmm,
I'm using Win 95 ICQ behind IPMASQ and FW, and of course, since I
haven't done anything specific for it, the ports close, and
people aren't able to message me/contact me.
Suggestions?
