I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.   I have been running
a redhat box as my firewall/masq box for quite awhile now (ipchains,
TinityOS firewall script, kernel 2.2.x).  Recently I have noticed a large
number of hits for port 2223 on my firewall log.  I have traced them back to
ICQ traffic and I haven't noticed this before.  only two things have changed
recently:

1) I moved from latest ICQ client to Trillian 0.70 (different client same
protocol)
2) had to migrate from static IP to DHCP in light of the ATT cable
migration.

It's more of an annoyance but I can't seem to find anything about this port
issue (newsgroups, archive, web search).  I still get my icq messages and
coworkers have not reported getting error messages.

I do not run the ICQ_masq module because I do not believe it works for the
newer protocols and I did not need it in the past for ICQ to work properly.
it appears to work just I get 2-3 hits on the firewall for port 2223 for
every ICQ message sent.
