ICQ200b and Linksys don't mix! Damn I'm Confused.

I'm having trouble configuring my ICQ to recieve files from other users.

------------------------------------------------
There was instruction in my Linksys Manual, but I think it's out of date.

Here's what it told me to do: "ICQ Menu-> preference-> connection tab-> Check *I'm behind a firewall or Proxy*, and set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in firewall setting."

I don't see any of those settings in my ICQ2000b. I've tried choosing "Using Firewall-> Using Proxy" and it still doesn't work.

what should I do?

------------------------------------------------

yes.. I've phoned Linksys about it. And they told me to use port forwarding. But they said I have to find the port myself.

Anyone know how I can find out which port ICQ uses to recieve files?

maybe this will help.... configuring Icq and firewalls

from what i saw at this page, you need port 5190 and a port between 1024-65535 open.
