I've done a search of the archives, one suggestion was adding some redirect ports 5000-5031, that being done, it didn't make a difference. The problem only seems to occur when communicating with other users who are behind a firewall. I'm thinking maybe a proxy would fix the problem. I've never set one up before, could anyone recommend one? I've heard lots about Squid. Of course if anyone can offer a solution that doesn't involve a proxy I'd be quite happy:) - Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
