Hello,
Well I dont actually use ICq, but with all IM, they're pretty generic.
With your router, you have to go into the router interface software, and go into an area like "virtual server" or "application" something along those lines.
After that first see if you can choose ICQ from a list if its available, if it isn't then you'll have to mess around so that you can choose a port number and open it up for ICQ, remember this number, go into ICQ and use that port number.
You might have to put your ip into a DMZ if it's absolutely crucial, but you put yourself at risk, as you do when you open up an "special" ports.
Hope it helps
