"The
answer is probably no, because more than likely, you are behind
a firewall and it has nothing to do with the software on your
machine. A firewall is a piece of networking hardware that filters
what kinds of traffic can go through. There is no simple way
to pass UDP packets through a firewall without the firewall
itself being configured to allow them."

"Try
to install it to the desktop. Like c:\windows\desktop\icq. At
my school, we can't download or run anything, unless its on
the desktop. So we just run ICQ on the desktop. (The files need
to be there, not just a shortcut.) "
Third
Answer (from ICQ QM; E-mail: Click

"If
there is a firewall in place to prevent communication, then
there's nothing that can be done. It's a hardware problem, not
a software one.
If however port 4000 is open as well as other ports for ICQ
communication, then the problem is indeed in the program.
In this case a suggestion would be to use an ICQ clone like
micq which is text-based and requires little space. Developments
are being made with micq and 32-bit Windows OS.
It all depends on what you mean by blocking though.
If it's a hard drive write problem (which is very common in
schools), then you probably won't be able to (and shouldn't)
install the complete 32-bit Windows version of ICQ on the machine."
