You're right. This is exactly the problem I had with the windows client, I probably remembered it wrong. Anyway there really where a setting in the windows v2000 something client that solved this, but I don't use that shitty os anymore..., and I don't remember the exact fix for it. I don't think it's a Licq bug, it's a feature... -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks, Jokkmokk, Sweden. | Mandrake Linux release 8.2 (Cooker) for i586 | Current uptime with kernel 2.4.13-11mdksmp: 7 hours 16 minutes | cpu0 @ 814.28 bm, fan 4141 rpm, temp +30.0�XC | cpu1 @ 815.92 bm, fan 4218 rpm, temp +29�XC
