The
Firewall / Router / Gateway Setup :
How do I know if I am behind a router/gateway?
If you have a IP address like 192.168.xxx.xxx then you are behind one.
Tip: How to check your IP address:
NT, 2000, XP : open a commandprompt write: ipconfig
95, 98, Me : open a commandprompt write: winipcfg
You will also need to setup portmapping (redirect ports) in the firewall/router/gateway
so it redirects it to your computer. This is because filetransfers is
peer-to-peer (direct connection).
Quick example:
INCOMING TCP traffic on PORTS (from internet): 24500-24505
REDIRECT TO:
192.168.0.10, PORT TCP 24500-24505
(192.168.0.10 is the ICQ computer in this example)
