I use a popular IM client called Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc). For the longest time (with IM generally), I've not been able to perform file transfers; this is because I'm behind a FreeBSD-4.7 NAT (ipfw + nat) firewall, with an internal RFC network. What I want to know is if there are rules I can implement with ipfw that will permit these file transfer services to work properly - or if I'd otherwise have to install some proxying program. Any pointers would be appreciated, and I will forward that info to the Trillian Forum for future users to see. Thanks!
