I guess the other user is behind a masquerading firewall, too.
For me direct connections do work very well, i'm sitting behind a masquerading 
firewall, too. If the other person sits behind a firewall it is required that 
at least one packet went through the server and you received a answer. Then 
your masqerading firewall can "remember" the connection and afterwards direct 
sending should be possible.
There is not much that you can do about this, it's a general problem with 
masquerading (think of FTP for example), not a licq problem. If everything 
fails you can configure licq to use some specific ports and then configure 
your firewall to forward these ports to your PC. For example you can try a 
port range from 40000-400010.

Bye,
Thomas
