Probably some rules are written by Firestarter that only include "-p TCP" and not "-p UDP" options for some ports. Possible, one could hack the rules, changing "REJECT" to "DENY", and adding UDP to rules, etc. With Firestarter, can you manually edit these rules in a conf file, i.e. add some new ones, change some already existing ones? Anyway, thanks for the extra info.... J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity-
