Hi,
I'm using icq to chat with my friends although I'm sitting behind a
firewall
--> it works great!
I tried to switch to mIRC but I cannot apply the settings to get mIRC
to work behind this firewall!
Here are my ICQ settings:
Firewall/IP Settings:
Always use internal IP
ICQ-Server:
Host: login.icq.com
Port:21
Proxy Settings:
Usings Firewall --> not using Proxy
Proxies/Firewall:
HTTPS
Proxy Server: Host:
Port:
--> Use Proxy to resolve hostnames
User to User Connection:
Use server proxy settings
I tried to run a script (provided by the DonkeyNetwork) that tries to connect to a specific port on my machine (IP 206.25.183.44 Port:4662). The error message was:
"
timeout : timeout on ip 206.25.183.44 (6 sec)
this means, that we even did not receive a
RESET signal; maybe due to a 'stealth' firewall
"
I could have tried more ports but I considerd it to be useless!?
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks in advance,
Kurt
