Okay, it's incorrect what I said before, but it's true that NAT and MS-Proxy-Server don't work in the same way (Although MS-Proxy has a client to allow transparent connections to internet, it's not the same connection like via NAT) Maybe the Bat likes NAT and that's why you don't have any freezing.

I didn't say the Bat doesn't work at all, I've only said, that I had to forward the POP3/SMTP ports if I want The Bat not to FREEZE anymore (after a while working). I have 2 computers. First one is connected directly to the internet via a cable modem, and the second one uses the first one as the gateway to go to the internet (there is Internet Sharing enabled on the first one). Both of the computers run XP SP1. This means, that my second computer isn't directly addressable from the internet, and that's why I had those Freezings.
