SmoothWall + ICQ & MSN Messenger

Albinus · 08-24-2001, 05:54 AM

Hi All,

I have just installed SmoothWall 0.9.8 on a spare machine, and I am very happy with it as a firewall/proxy. However, whilst I can access the Internet on my main Windows machine, MSN Messenger and ICQ cannot find the server. I have tried setting the proxy to 192.168.10.1 (the SmoothWall machine), but they can't connect. Are there any ports I need to open??? Any help would be appreciated, relative Linux newbie here

Thanks for your help in advance,

Albinus.

Hi All,

I overlooked a simple thing.......... I hadn't set the Gateway on the Windows machine to the IP address of the SmoothWall box........ oh well at least everything works fine now

Thanks anyway,

Albinus.
