Does this work for file transfers too? /me doesn't think so. File transfers
require direct connection, that's what the range of listening ports are for
if I am not completely mistaken...

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?

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.
