First, choose the "ICQ Exception" rule in your firewall. The ICQ firewall exception will not allow you to send ICQ messages from behind your firewall alone. You will need to make some modifications to your ICQ settings as well for it to work for you.

  1. Open the ICQ Menu and select "Preferences"
  2. Select the "Connection" tab.
  3. Select the button "I am behind a firewall or proxy."
  4. Then press the "Firewall Settings" button.
  5. On the "Firewall Settings" window that should be in front of you, select "I don't use a SOCKS Proxy server on my firewall or I am using another Proxy server."
  6. Select the "Next" button.
  7. The next screen should have a section for "TCP Port Allocation". Select "Use the following TCP listen pots for incoming events"
  8. In the "From" box enter "10000", in the "To" box enter "11000".
  9. Click the "Next" button and make sure your ICQ is Disconnected (off-line).
  10. Click on the "Check my Firewall/Proxy Settings" button to verify that everything is configured correctly for you.
  11. If successful, click the "Done" button
