Feature Request: File transfer over NAT Gateway

[keldrin]

In ICQ 5.0/5.1 it works quite fine to do file transfers over a NAT Gateway without forwarding any ports. It would be great if it also worked on with licq.

Tell me what I can do to help you figure out how it works exactly, I have a NAT router where I am root and it should be possible for me to boot some windows machine with ICQ 5.0 on it. So I can send you a network dump of a file transfer if it helps.

I think this feature would also make it possible for me to see all these crazy little user pictures (doesn't work over my NAT gateway either)

Is there really nobody interested in this feature? If someone told me how I would love to help you where ever possible. I can do some network sniffing to figure out how this kind of connection works on windows and maybe do a little coding (although i'm not too familiar with c++).

File transfer does not work for me, even with ports forwarded! I use 3 ports (23131-23133) which are forwarded to my desktop pc correctly, i checked with netcat. Licq is listening at least on the first of them: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:23131 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6275/licq. But i can not receive files (at least not from trillian and adium users). I get a message saying that there is a file transfer coming in, then i accept and it just sits there and displays "waiting". (I do not even get a notification if an adium users sendes me something.) I attach the output of licq -d31 from the beginning to the end of the failed transfer.
