XP and ICQ question

I am running XP and SYGATE personl firewall.
I have given ICQ permission to go through the firewall but for some reason people can't send me files over ICQ....it prompts for the request, I accept and it just sits there.

Any ideas?
 
it might be because of the 'direct connection' settings in your ICQ client. By default I think this is set to 'use dynamic port numbers'.

find this setting and manually define the ports that should be used for direct connections. add these ports to to your firewall config.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
