It does appear that login.icq.com does listen on most every port (least ones I've tried). However, you must still point to a server that is listening. The IP address specified is not one of those returned by a DNS lookup of "login.icq.com", thus it will not work. > I do agree, licq should have a way to assign which port to connect on, > as an easy way to bypass packet filtering firewalls. This is a bit of a touchy subject. The idea of a firewall is that it not be bypassed. Jamin W.
