Thats right, you cant get files or chats without a range of listining ports open OR you can use a socks 5 proxy and that will solve those problems as well... >>I am currently using ICQ on my windows box, behind a FreeBSD >>firewall.

Otherwise the rule will time out and you will appear to go offline then online to everyone on your list all the time... >>#1 : If you are using ICQ, upgrade to the latest version. > > Already using the latest version (2001b). > > The problem is not port 5190 on login.icq.com, traffic going there from > me is always allowed back in. I have had terrible trouble with icq... Especialy with other people behind nat or firewalls... It seems the best solution is to install socks 5 proxy and set icq to use that... I might try with the latest version of icq and see if I can get it working through nat, but doesnt it have ads on it or something? I really hate ads...
