Hi Wesley, I did notice that with the XP firewall, I had to specifically add ratui (I think it was that one) to the exception list. Two of the rat programs caused the firewall popup to come up and ask if I wanted to unblock them but the 3rd (either rat, ratui, or rat-kill) needed to be added specifically for things to work correctly.
