yahoo webcam

yahoo webcam

[Sandy T. Santos]

i have a problem enabling yahoo webcam on a NAT'ed
drop-all-unless-specified firewalled box. currently the ym clients (all on
win32's) can only access yahoo messenger via squid transparent proxy but
this does not allow webcam to work. the requirements for yahoo webcam is
that you have to open up TCP port 5100, i have done that but i still can't
established a connection with the ym server. i was wondering if anyone here
knows the complete rule for making this work.

thanks.
