You need to get a program called icscfg and open port range say from 5200 to 5280
and then alter settings in icq to use specific ports ie same range as the ones opened in icscfg.
Internet connection sharing in windows closes ports that would otherwise be open.
Eg 8000 8001 which makes it hard to get Shoutcast to work
until you use icscfg to open these 2 ports..
LOL and thanks for all the replies to my Question
