What ports does ICQ file transfer use?

I need to forward the ports so that my roommate can send / receive files via ICQ.

After reading here:

"Client to client connection is done using the TCP protocol, using port range 1024-65535. This means that the client needs an open listening port within the mentioned range-- 1024-65535."

What? Does that need I need to forward ports 1024-65535 to one computer? That's pretty outrageous IMO.

Hehe. Are you trying to secure down your computer? A pain in the @$$ when dealing with such crap applications, isn't it? I feel your pain.

See if your firewall has a dynamic TCP option, so that it opens the ports only when use and closes them otherwise. ISA server has that option and seems to work quite well for me.
