Does ICS setup a proxy server?

[Fenix793]

I just finished setting up ICS on my two computers and now I can't log in to the Audiogalaxy server or do file transfers over AIM. Does this have to do with a firewall or proxy server? If so how can I get by it?

Thanks all,

Try ICSconfig from http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/a/amccombs/. You need to open the ports for your progs to communicate through, much like a Cable or DSL router. If the ports aren't listed on that website try to search groups.google.com or google itself for the specific ports. Hope that helps.

<edit>

This prog doesn't work with Win2k but an alternative is listed on the website.

This site helped me out with this, basically yoou got it. Setting up limewire (gnutella) was a snap.

Instructions

These ICS port mappings have been generously contributed by Practically Networked visitors.

All you need to do to use them is:

click on a link to download the map file

open ICS Configuration

Import the mapping (you can do this by double clicking on the map file if you have V1.2 or greater)

Use ICS Configuration to change the mapping Target to the IP address of the computer that you want to map.

Reboot your system.

NOTE! These mappings can be imported only by ICS Configuration V1.2 or higher.
