Very Computer

If it is posible How hard was it . Any pointers would be helpful.
I have found the IP Masq website and read the stuff there.
But it does not say much about ICQ or Yahoo games and
other Java stuff. As I understand it. the Java Games Applets
May not be able to work unless I know the port and Protocol
it is using. Any one know what they are.
And how to get it through the IP Masq system. ?

please reply to here or my email below

real email address. Thanks.

Go ahead and setup your masq box.  The Yahoo Chess (and the rest of the
Yahoo Java games and chat applets) will work just fine through the Linux
firewall.  You don't have to do anything tricky with ipfwadm.  

When you access Yahoo Chess, for example, you download a Java applet
that then opens a socket to yog1.yahoo.com (or the appropriate server).
Since this socket was initiated inside the network, the Linux masq box
will let the packets come back from Yahoo reach your workstation.

ICQ also works but I don't use it much.
