dialpad works just fine through with ipchains on my machine. I will try to get the configuration to use dialpad if you would like them. I have two dialpad configurations: 1.) works only for one ip address behind firewall but give best performance 2.) works for any machine behind firewall but you take the performance hit. later, Justin -----Original Message----- From: Hawke [mailto:proudhawk19021@home.com] Sent: Monday, December 18, 2000 10:13 AM To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: Proxy Server Software I do. IPCHAINS is pretty much the way to go as far as IPMASQ goes. However, you might consider SQUID Proxy server as a good alternate. IPCHAINS/IPMASQ does have some drawbacks. some services that normally work through windows (such as dialpad) won't work correctly through an IPMASQ system. so, it really depends on what you want to do.. I currently am running redhat 7 (with modifications) and I am not running it with the default compiler installed (I updated using the latest polish(ed) versions from rufus.w3.org).
