Licq Sockets??

[nineveh]

I attend the University of Central Arkansas. (like it really matters.. http://cc.uca.edu)
Anyways, I can't seem to connect to an icq server. Licq's network log gives me this msg:

[UDP] Requesting logon (#26959)...
[UPD] Resolving icq.mirablilis.com...
[UDP] ICQ server found at 205.188.153.97:4000
[UDP] Creating local server.
[UDP] Opening socket to server.
[WRN] Timed out after 10 seconds (#26959), retry 1 of 6
After 6 tries...
[WRN] Timed out (#26959)

could it have something to do with the university firewall? although i can connect using icq in windows.. hmm... any ideas?

I doubt it's the fire wall.

What happens when you click the "next server" button on the icq menu?

the same thing happens.. it doesn't seem to matter which server I use.. i still get the same msg..

Actually, I'm going to change my mind and say that your firewall may indeed have something to do with it.

try typing:

telnet icq.mirabilis.com 4000

it should just wait there until you press Ctrl-C.

I think there is a way to get around firewalls like that.
