File Transfers via Chat Programs

Does anyone know how to allow file transfers in chat programs when using a Router? I have a Linksys router for my home DSL and I can accept file transfers from others for the most part, but if I try to send a file, they cannot reveive it. I thought that I might have to open some ports up on the router to allow for the file transfer...but I don't know what ports they are? I am using ICQ and AOL IM and I would like to get at least one of them working...preferably ICQ. Anyone have any ideas?
