If you don't have a masquerading firewall, I am using redhat 7.1 OS. with Ipchains 1.3.10. ( no masquerading), As I mentioned all users are using the proxy box for a gateway, and using port 8080 for http traffic (dans). I had added port 1863 in IPchains before posting (-A ipput -s 0/0 -d 0/0 1863 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT). In this case would the user need to set up proxy portion of msn, or should it just go through?
