Ok, I know a lot of you clusterheads are also computer nerds (DJ, you've gotta be!)...I have successfully downloaded ICQ, but cannot register, b/c apparently I have a "firewall". I went to the ICQ tech support page and tried to follow the instructions but couldn't get far b/c I don't know anything about proxy servers or socks or what have you. Any advice or am I going to have to ask my boss (who also happens to be my dad) about it and thereby reveal that I have been using my internet connection for mostly non-work related things? Aaagh. So is there any way I can find out how my firewall is set up w/o contacting the system admin.?
Thanks,
Jen
