Linksys Router Port Forwarding

This is a discussion about Linksys Router Port Forwarding in the Windows Networking category; I am behind a Linksys 4 port Cable/DSL Router and I'd like to be able to send and receive files using AIM/ICQ/MSN. Does anyone know of a way of doing thins WITHOUT making my machine the DMZ Host. I'd like to know what ports they try to use.

i was able to receive and send files via ICQ while behind a router/switch (Ugate-3100). Seems you have to go into preferences in ICQ -> Connections -> User and tick on under Advanced Users 'Not using proxy' then the default 'Use dynamically allocated port number'
 
Thats what i did and it works, hth

ya i like icq its a better program in my opinion then msn messenger.
i also got it to work through the linksys with aim by right clicking the nickname and clicking connect to send im
about httport no luck, the program is meant for proxies.
Although im happy with the router now because people seem to be writing their programs better for this type of situation. Like icq

it has an ipsec passthrough and pptp passthrough feature in it.
 
I'm going to accompany a friend of mine on a job to set up a vpn, and im thinking to myself, why not use the linksys router.
 
Anyone out there ever use it with vpn? If yes, how has your experience been doing it with a linksys router?
good? bad? interesting? let me know
