Title: MSN messenger file transfers + ipchains/masq
Post by: Michiel on April 11, 2002, 01:49:13 AM
Hi Guys!

Well.. I've been trying to get sending with MSN to work, but I haven't succeeded so far... From this forum I get that there are multiple ways of going about it. I think the simplest would be adjusting the template file at /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq

The following text is from the MSN help pages:
"For file transfer

Both incoming and outgoing TCP connections use this range of ports: 6891 to 6900. This allows up to 10 simultaneous file transfers per sender. If you open only Port 6891, users will be able to do only one file transfer at a time.

The TCP ports need to be configured so that sockets on a port remain open for extended periods of time."

Is there an ipchains/masq guru around here who can tell me what I need to change in that masq file to get even if it's just one port, opened???

Thanks in advance, Michiel
