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....
