The reason he's asking this, Ales, is because 192.168.0.1 is what's
known as a "non-routable" IP. Computers outside your LAN are not able
to send packets there because they would never make it past the first
router they hit -- 192.* IPs are reserved for internal communications.
So, allowing other ICQ clients to see you as 192.168.0.1 would cause
them to think you were on their own network, and you'd never get their
messages.
At least, that's how it looks from this end. :)
