    I've been trying to tunnel ICQ via a remote host (ssh -L
    5190:login.icq.com:5190 me@remotehost), but am unable to authenticate.
    The connection to the ICQ server is established, as witnessed by my
    account being kicked off if I login from another computer using the same
    UIN. I then get reports of "Socket problems", and disconnect.
    If I replace remotehost with localhost, it works fine, and if I set the
    tunnel termination as the gateway server that also works fine. So I'm
    assuming that there's something that ICQ does that puts an originating
    IP into the packet, and by forwarding through another host the ICQ
    server sees mismatched IP addresses.

    So my question is, is there a way around this? Has anyone successfully
    forwarded ICQ off a NAT'd network through a tunnel to a remote server?
