I am currently using a Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router with a DSL connection. Up
until recently, I was using it's DHCP feature. However, in order to be able
to use port forwarding, I deactivated DMZ and set up my PC using a static IP
address. All of my internet software (browser, e-mail, msn messenger etc)
are working as before. However, I'm having one small problem. Even though
I've configured ICQ to load at startup, when the system boots up, all I get
is the ICQ net detect icon in my system tray. To load ICQ, I have to click
on that icon. Once I have clicked on it, ICQ loads, connects, and runs as
before.

However, ICQ will not automatically load at startup. This is weird since
with the static IP address configuration, msn messenger, yahoo messenger,
and aol instant messenger will all load at startup.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Paul Browning
