Uh... would a need a slightly better picture of what you are trying to do.

ICQ normally makes a control connection on UDP 4000 to the ICQ server, then
when you chat or message someone it makes a TCP connection directly to the
other client on a randim high-numbered port.

The Nokia has no problem with this scenario.
If you are doing any NAT between your Firewalls internal interface and your
inside network, then you could have some problems.

If your firewall doesn't pass the above ports, it won't work.

Another way is to run a SOCKS proxy on your firewall. If you then, using
ICQ's SOCKS proxy, you can then connect to the internal firewall on TCP
1080, and the firewall then needs the above ports. (IE UDP 4000 and a range
of TCP ports above 1024).

>From memory you can configure ICQ to a range of ports, so you don't need to
allow everything.
