ICQ phone over a router.

[L.Rentz]

Hello everyone. Has anyone got ICQ Phone (PC to PC) to work over a router? I would like very much to work this one out. I can not find which ports to open for icq phone. Or if it will work at all.

Thanks,

Lee

Have you looked at the ICQ Firewall and ICQphone FAQs?

One alternative package to look at is MS Portrait for PocketPC to PocketPC/Desktop audio conferencing. My brother and I talk once or twice a week, wireless iPAQ 3650 (his) to wireless iPAQ 3835 (mine). He uses a Linksys wireless card of some type and I use a D-Link DCF-650W. We connect wireless-ly to our respective home LANs and subsequently to the public internet over 56K dial links. Audio (half-duplex) is very good and it is certainly cool to walk around the house talking to him via my iPAQ. My wife simply rolls her eyes when I walk by...

Note that I do this through a XP Pro Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) by forwarding TCP Port 8100 (Listen), UDP Port 8110 (Video) and UDP Port 8120 (Audio) to the IP of my iPAQ. I use a static IP for my iPAQ on my home LAN.
