i've seen with netstat connections from my pc to a remote ip on remote port 5*0*... i suppose there would be a seting in ymsgr, or another instant messaging client for yahoo protocol, to connect directly to the buddy you're tokin` to. but didn't quite discover it. now, this really is interesting. if you guys know more about this pls tell us. oh, i've also seen in netstat ip`s like **2.*68.*.* and i was also wondering how could that be possible...
