I'd say that it depends a great deal on how the firewall is configured. Sounds like yours must be setup to allow either any responses to outgoing traffic and/or any "established" traffic, i.e, connections where you initiated the outgoing setup connection. This may not be true of all firewalls, though. -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
