Folks,

I am aware that my current filewall rules are too simplistic to allow most 
FTP.  The remote server cannot establish a connection with my LAN as I drop 
all packets with the SYN bit set (I think that's right, I drop the kind of 
packets that try to start a connection is what I'm trying to say).  Anyway,
does anyone know if that would also keep realmedia from working ?  Realaudio 
works, but when I try to get the video feed from Slashdot I get no where.
Does anyone know if they are trying to establish a reverse connection like 
FTP does ?

TIA

TomR
