I'm assuming your still using kernel 2.x with
IPChains, but if I'm wrong you may have better luck
with IP Tables and kernel 2.4.x. A great tutorial
that had my icq up and running quickly came from
Mandrakeuser.org. It's for IPChains:
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cipc.html
this tutorial won't get the best firewall running but
it will show you how to get your ICQ working with
IPChains. But if your using MDK 8.0 and kernel 2.4
you may want to try IP Tables for your firewall.

These are great links for ip tables tutorials and
explanations. IP Tables doesn't have all the
available modules yet but it is definately the future
of firewalling in linux (at least thats what I've
read)
If you can't find what you need maybe posting your
script rules to the list would help and someone could
point out the problem. Good Luck.
