-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, today I noticed a strange problem which source I cannot identify. I own a dedicated Debian Etch rootserver with 6 IP-Addresses. 1 physical (eth0) and 5 virtual (eth0:1 to eth0:5). At startup centericq always picks eth0:5 as IP-Address to listen on. Because I don't want centericq to listen there, I start centericq as following: centericq --bind ip.of.device.eth0 (IP-Address of the physical eth0 device) But if I do that, centericq refuses to connect to the Jabber network. ICQ works fine. For others I can't tell, because I don't use other IM-Networks. The status window shows: [icq] connecting to the server [jab] connecting to the server [icq] logged in [jab] disconnected I captured the traffic with wireshark and noticed that the DNS A-Record for jabber.com (IP: 207.182.166.31) is lookep up and returned to me. But not one single packet is sent out to this IP or any other Jabber-Host. Not even a TCP-SYN. Centericq started without --bind works perfectly. Lookup DNS A-Record, send a TCP-SYN to 207.182.166.31, receive SYN,ACK, send ACK. All fine. So the question that comes to my mind is: Does Centericq has some problems with the --bind Option and Jabber? I know there are problems with PGP/GPG and centericq (I can't chat GPG-Encrypted between my centericq and the Kopete client of a friend.) - But I never heared of problems with the --bind Option. Google and the Changelog/Documentation didn't show any relevant information.
