[tahiralijafri]

Hello Dear Friends!

I am running squid on fedora core 3. my clients are experiencing problems to signin to msn messenger/yahoo messenger using squid. Iptables for MSN/yahoo that i am using are given below.

FOR MSN
iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1863 -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay

FOR YAHOO
iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -p tcp --dport 5000:5050 -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay

Please give suggestions

regards

Dear tahiralijafri,
Salam,

Squid have nothing to do with Yahoo/MSN Messenger !!

You need to MASQUERADE ports
