bored,

It still didn't work after trying your suggestion. I'm the second machine in my network with IP of 192.168.1.101 (verified thru winipcfg) therefore my ICQ listening port was set to 20020-20039.

In my router config setting, I forward 20020 port (only one entry) to 192.168.1.101 in, and the DHCP in the router disabled automatically.

Also in my network properties -> TCP/IP "Use DHCP for wing config" was set by default. The IP was set to be assigned automatically.

But I still couldn't receive any thing from other ICQ users......

What else I miss?

Thanks


Your replied:
Go to ICQ -> Preferences -> Connections, and under Server tab, click Using Firewall and Not Using Proxy. Then go to User tab, click Not Using Proxy and Use The Following TCP Listen Port For Incoming Event. Put from 20000 to 20019 for your 1st computer, 20020 to 20039 for your 2nd computer, 20040 to 20059 for your 3rd computer, and so on...
Go to your router and forward those port to each computer. 20000 to 20019 to 192.168.1.101 or whatever.

Under your Router's Forwarding menu, it should have 2 boxes under Service Port Range and 1 box under IP Address. Something like this:

Service Port Range...................IP Address
BOX ~ BOX............................192.168.1.BOX

If not, go update your Router's firmware. Firmware 1.36 for Linksys

After that, you should be able to forward RANGES.
