AboutJoerg Droege Expertise I can answer all questions regarding ICQ except those like: "I have lost my password, how do I get it back?" because I am not an ICQ Team member, so I cannot do anything about lost passwords.
Experience I did an education as a Management Assistant in Informatics, I am using ICQ since ICQ2000b, but of course I know the current ICQ client the best. I also used the alpha ComPad ICQ client.
Education/Credentials Management Assistant in Informatics education under the control of the CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry).

Answer Hello Jessica!
Thanks for your question!
What most people do not understand is: ICQ Chat is nothing more than a server in the IRC network (check wikipedia for "IRC"!)
I suggest using an IRC client instead to connect to the ICQ chat server/room. Nice is e.g. is http://www.xchat.org/
But I think this is anyway because something blocks communication throught port 6666 which is the port IRC uses to connect and communicate.
