Title: can't make icq file transfer connection
Post by: Quade on March 27, 2002, 07:04:20 PM
Hey All,
I'm running ICQ 2002b on my windows machine behind SME 5.0.3, and I have no trouble sending and receiving messages.

However, some people cannot send me files, while others can. One guy in particular can only send a file up to 10k, then the transfer dies. We've both tried every possible firewall/proxy configuration in ICQ, and i've opened up a number of ports in SME to go directly to my windows machine.

I've looked at ICQ's site and tried their possible fixes, but nothing has worked. I've also downloaded and installed the IP_masq_icq RPM by Damien Curtain and Charlie Brady, but it doesn't support ICQ2000 or higher.

Is there a new version of this RPM that does support the latest versions of ICQ? Is there another fix for this problem?

I've searched this board for other problems, and I know that some people have had similar problems, but I've not seen any fizes besides opening up specific port numbers.

Any clues?

I have ICQ running here

The largest file that I have sent is 40meg


My ICQ settings are as follows

Under connections servers

host: login.icq.com
port: 443

using firewall:checked
using proxy: checked

proxy type: HTTPS

Then under the firewall type tab

set the host server to your SME box with a port of 3128

Also check proxy to resolve host names

Under user tab

Use Server Proxy Settings: checked


Thats it

This is running on a stock SME 5.1 machine with a cable connection to the net

Running ICQ 2001b

Hi

If I like to chat with ICQ. How do I have to set up my SME? I use SME V5.5.

For the chat I try to connect to the icq-server...

Thanks
