Traffic request port question.

[Alan87i]

I'm using Freeradius 2 authenticating users with their mac address.
I have idle and a hard time out set.

What I get is complaints that skype and or messenger disconnects all the time.
As well as users having to open a browser and load a page before they can open an email program such as outlook or thinderbird.

Is there a way to tell CP or FR2 to watch for ports other than just 80 ? Can I add Gmails port? And Skype's port and port 25 ? so the connections stay alive.

Let me rephrase
Can CP be told to listen for traffic on ANY port besides port 80?
Thanks

It will not solve your issue since poeple have to authenticate anyway.

I'm using Mac auth with free radius 2 . They log in automatically with out even knowing it.
The main reason I set it up this way is so they can have access to IP/ hosts they need for work. (by pass the portal) And get a monthly quota of how much time / megs/ gigs wasted during breaks and the like on the net, not work related.

You have to change the ipfw fwd line as it was back in 2.0 or 1.2.x days to redirect everything.
