I don't undertstand how ICQ works behind natl? How does server send data to the client, which is behind a NAT firewall? As far as i know iCQ uses UDP and does not keep connection open, so, no soket associated with the ICQ on NAT or ICQ SERVER. ICQ client cannot be accessed directly. Then HOW does a message appear in ICQ when server gets it? I need to know it because i need to do the same thing.
