How can one accomplish this with a dynamic IP? What
would I specify in my startup scripts to setup ipportfw
before knowing what my dynamic IP might be?

=> This is what I use to forward from my real ip 204.83.206.89 to my =

=> It needs at least 11 ports for each computer you want to use with ICQ.

=> In firewall settings select I don't use a Socks.......->NEXT->Use the =

=> I would suggest using this method rather than ipautofw. From what I've =
