This lets other clients know you are behind a firewall. They should try not to connect directly to you, unless you specify you can receive direct connections. This is so official clients don't hang indefinitely when trying to send a message to you. > I *am* behind a firewall and do not want to allow Licq to listen for > direct connections, so I have to enable "i am..." ? Licq will still bind to a port and listen. If you do not check the "I can receive direct connections" option then most clients won't even bother trying to connect to you.
