-   I just installed Mandrake, and have a adsl connection, and have fine internet acces, but my Licq or Gnomeicu will not send msg, i get messages just fine, anyone who can help me out here ???

I tried different servers at icq but in Licq I can't seem to adjust the server i connect to....

-   Do you have a firewall? If you do, did you adjust the firewall settings in LICQ?

-   to see if you have a firewall
try iptables -L
or ipchains -L

-   i do have a firewall, but there is no firewall setting in Licq.. or at least I can't find it, the only window I can find is Networking, and there is nothing about the firewall there ??

I even tried removing the firewall, but nothing different there.. the problem is sending messages, not recieving them ...

hope you can help

-   the problem seems to be connecting to the other user, I tried to send through server, but the server doesn't reply or it times out...

and another thing is, that i can't choose server toi cennect to, the only server it will choose is

icq.mirabilis.com
port: 4000

-   Under the Networking window in LICQ, there is a section titled 'Firewall'
that says 'I can recieve direct connections'.

Anyway, you might want to check your Network Status window for errors
(Menu/Network Window).

And you can edit your server in '/home/username/.licq/licq.conf'

-   Can you send the message when you select 'Send through server'? Or is your
problem only with direct connections?

-   Lately, I've seen the same problems with ICQ/LICQ, over the last couple of
days, the problem seems to have gone away, and I believe it was a server
problem on ICQs part.

If you could wait another day, and post back if the problem still reoccurs,
it would be of assistance.
