<< I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult, and I put my question in "Software" as I guess it's related to ICQ. But the question was really about my firewall. The firewall is part of my router. A router is a piece of hardware. I have a specific question about how to set up my hardware so that it works with ICQ.
This just seems like a hasty lock to me. Oh well, whatever. >>
Well then put it in networking. Routers, firewalls, and icq are all network related so maybe that would have been a better solution. The tcp/ip stack and the filtering (or NAT as it probably is in this case) are also software and network related as opposed to hardware.
