Re: [SLUG] icq in iptables

[Adam Hewitt <n3urogod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All (again),

I have fixed the problem, however Im not sure if this is the best fix...I 
opened some ports very high in the ranges (60000-61000) and specified these 
ports in the ICQ config. I don't really feel comfortable opening these 
ports, but it is working. If anyone has a better idea let me know.

PS. Simon I am configuring every via consol so a gnome util wont help, but 
thanks anyways.

Adam.
