One possible solution is MASQ. The original poster failed to mention "how it doesn't work" so I take it that the problem could also be dcc. In that case you really have to look at the ipmasq-irc module or just disallow dcc. The problem with dcc is that it opens a connection back to the irc client and since it's a random >1023 port, it makes things a bit difficult for firewall setup. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
