Your firewall is timing out the connections.
You need to find out what your UDP timeout is in the firewall
(probably something like 60 seconds), and go to the settings
section of ICQ and set the "keep alive interval" (or something)
to something lower than that value.
On another note though: If you allow ICQ through your firewall,
you might aswell not have a firewall in the first place.
