I jsut then opened that range on the router. Done.
Here you got, Kiddo. Attached is a snapshot of my present Port Triggering setup. You see ICQ (Win), NetMeeting and MSN Messenger. These all trigger the opening of the ports specified. 'licq', on the other hand, doesn't trigger the opening of a port. Based on what Stephen said earlier, I think that 'licq' is not the application that is actually requesting the use of these ports. Yes, I am opening the barn doors wide open when they do open, but I also don't run any IM or conferencing software unless I intent to chat or conference. Still, I need to trim back until I find the bare minimum that works. I'm still working with a friend on this. We've both been severely side-tacked lately to finish this up. Make sense, Femme? T :0)
