File transfers require direct connection, that's what the range of listening ports are for if I am not completely mistaken... > I am currently using ICQ on my windows box, behind a FreeBSD > firewall.

I use that too (keeping state of connections) of course, so the traffic between me and login.icq.com on port 5190 should work without problems. It does indeed work; if it didn't how could ICQ even connect and go online? > #1 : If you are using ICQ, upgrade to the latest version. Already using the latest version (2001b). The problem is not port 5190 on login.icq.com, traffic going there from me is always allowed back in.
