Not sure what I did, but it started working. It makes a big difference, stopping and starting the service from the status tab or click the ok button after making changes. Seems like the changes only occur when the okay button is pushed?
Also, I uninstalled reinstalled. And a combination of all these, made magic happen. Now, the only complaint is, I have two im servers; 1.0 and 1.1, 1.0 client can't connect to 1.1 and 1.1 can't connect 1.0 :( And, I like the persistant connect option but it doesn't do a bit of good if you need to connect first, what's up with that? -----Original Message----- From: Fred Stover To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: 2/26/03 9:05 AM Subject: RE: [IpswitchIM_Forum] NATing questions Upgrading didn't help, now I show a gray face with a blue question mark. Do I need to open 5177 both ways? Also, if the im server is in a dmz do I put the firewall address in the nat gateway or the ip of the im server? -----Original Message----- From: Fred Stover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 2:57 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [IpswitchIM_Forum] NATing questions I have IM working inside my company's firewall, all is working great, had a little nating problem but worked though them. Now, the final test: I have installed an IM server in a dmz zone which is where it will finally live, with the following setup: I opened port 5177 outbound and inbound into the dmz, and I'm connecting to the im server from inside the firewall. The test clients all show with a gray smiley face and I can't chat. However, the chat messages are stored on the im server and will show the next time a test client connects. Here's the config: dns server inside the firewall pointing the im server in the dmz: im.imany.com 172.16.200.7 On the im server I have the 'nat gateway host' = im.imany.com I have made the registry changes to the clients, prior to making them I was showing the blue questions mark. Any thoughts?
