Currently gaim cannot > do that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is only true if you're using the old ICQ protocol to connect to ICQ. This is not a problem if you're using Oscar (the same one for AIM) to connect to ICQ. |

The official clients also use Oscar, and they let you choose if you want your buddies to know your IP. -khc |

In Gaim, using ICQ via "AIM/ICQ" (oscar), your IP addres should only be visible to people in your buddy list. This should be acceptable to most people because you usually know/trust people who are in your buddy list. A patch to hide your IP address from everyone would be welcome... -Mark On Sun, 25 Jan 2004 08:55:34 -0800 (PST), Sergey Gribov wrote > Hello, > > Is it possible to hide an IP address if > I'm using gaim? > > Thanks, -- O O Mark Doliner \ | ma...@ki... \ | www.kingant.net "There needs to be a better word for weird." |
