Brian,

Have you told ICQ in Preferences and under Connection that your connecting
over a LAN?
If I tell ICQ I'm connecting with my phone line, logging on is OK but file
transfer and chat don't work - with it set to LAN it works fine.

Something not quite right in your masq/firewalling rules, maybe?
