If e.g. the proxy allows ports 1900-2200, then all messages etc through ports 1100-1899 en 2201-??? won't get through. ICQ is notorious for not working with proxies and firewalls.

Re: [newbie] *icq and proxy
Not true. Open up port 4000. But that might not allow direct connections (chat) but you can still message. Better yet get a firewall proxy that supports ICQ in fully like Sygate. I use it and ICQ works great. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 7/13/2000 at 8:42 PM Paul scribbled: On Thu, 13 Jul 2000, JoeLx wrote: A question...
