all qwest dsl routers 675/678 do nat its a real headache.. im looking at doing a few things to try and solve a few issues .. i can connect to icq and msn with windows boxes but on some ip addresses and alike i cant send files it fails to connect im trying to tie it down to ports. that way i can take a look at what the router is saying about those ports i think my findings will show how limited we are with the qwest connection.

However, I _do_ have problems logging on with it (login->online->wait 5mins->offline). I'm behind a Cisco 675 DSL that's doing NAT, which might be part of that problem. Perhaps the cause of your issues is if whomever you're trying to send messages to is behind a network sharing system (be it Linux or Windoze). -- Thomas "Mondoshawan" Tate phoenix@psy.ed.asu.edu http://tank.dyndns.org
