| ICQ |
- Newer ICQ versions use different ports
than older versions of
ICQ. Becuase of this, the ICQ 2.2.x modules will no longer will
help.
- Any version of ICQ can do basic instant
messaging OUTBOUND
without any special configuration. To support INBOUND
IMs, you will need to setup either PORTFW or a SOCKS proxy.
- Today, the most reliable mechanism to
use ICQ is with a
SOCK proxy.
|
| IP_MASQ_FTP Server |
The IP_MASQ_FTP module that supports full
PORTFW.
Module is NOT required in 2.4.x
|
| RTSP |
Real-Time Streaming Protocol.
No 2.4.x module available yet
|
| Microsoft Messenger |
Microsoft Messenger module by Tom
Marshall.
Note from Tom: It may or may not work with
2.4, as it has not been
tested. It will masq file transfers, but not voice chat.
|
| VPN
Masq |
VPN Masquerade is the part of IP Masquerade
which enables you to use IPsec-based and PPTP-based Virtual Private
Network clients from behind a shared-access firewall.
Note: Module is NOT required for one ipsec
client in 2.4.x
|
| PPTP
Masq Module |
Yes. See netfilter
site for detail. This patch by Brian
Kuschak allows masquerading of PPTP client. It should compile
against 2.4.15 kernel. Here is some information on the module
from Brian:
I personally sent the 2.4.12
patch to at least a dozen testers and here's
what I've heard:
- works fine masquerading multiple simultaneous PPTP clients.
- works with WindowsNT, 2K, and Cisco VPN PPTP servers.
Problems that have been reported:
- does not work with more than one address in an SNAT pool.
- one person reported couldn't get more than 4 simultaneous connections
to
work
- if the linux box is also acting as a pptp client/server there
may be
problems.

>Anyway, I have a few questions to better understand your

>1. Are you running a Starcraft server locally or are you

the Internet?

>2. Are you both connecting to the same server or different
ones?

>3. When you PORTFW ports 116, 118, and 6112, how are you

> This isn't technically legal.

>Curious, did you try to use REDIR to get similar functionality?

>Btw.. do you have a email address for Michael Best? I'd like

kernel
