BlackIce and ICQ file transfers

[Jalapino]

My friend and I have BlackIce (Which we both run at cautious)and trust each others IP. Now we are unable to send file transfers back and forth to each other using ICQ file transfer. i was forst wondering if anyone else is and or was having the same problem. does anyone know how to fix this or if you are using BlacICe and it DOES work what your config is for BlackIce and ICQ? I.E proxy setting used for ICQ and what Security level you are using for BlackICe. I have already tried to manually open the ports for ICQ like it says on the networkice website. no luck. Thanks in advance for your help!

The Easyest Thing To Do Is Just Shut Off blackice when you file transfer via-ICQ.. it will only take a few seconds to do

My friend and I tried that but ICQ said we were behind or using a proxy. I cant remember exactly what it said.

Here is the link to the site I found.
http://help.icqx.com/faq/win98ics.html

The utility is the top link of the webpage above it is called ICS Config 2.01.
I tried it and couldnt get it to work but I didnt try very hard. PLEASE let me know how it goes for you. Currently when I want to transfer files to my friend I have to disble ICS temporarily,(by right clicking on IE icon, then to properties, then go to the connection tab, then sharing button at the bottum and uncheck Intenet Sharing to disable, and the opposite to reenable) then transfers work great, then dont forget to reenable when finished.

Thanks, guys. Opening those ports with those
