I have not tried to use ICQ2000A. So I will not comment at this time on how it works, or how to get it to work correctly. I will leave that to others who like using ICQ.
However, I had to comment on the Port Ranges from Chris. If you open a range of ports from 1024-65535 TCP and allow connections from any IP number, you are in effect removing the firewall. This is very insecure. I recommend you read Mr. Hollands post from Wed, 28 Jun 2000. I found it very interesting and very accurate.
