YAY its working, finally. i couldnt find the conf.apf file but ran the lokkit thing through terminal and set up those three ports and it seem to be running fine. i also unchecked the http, ftp and other stuff that im not currently using. Should i un DMZ the router n just tell it to send the ports through or is linux secure enought that i shouldnt need to worrry?
My next question i'll send in another email so we can kind of have and end to this and a start to a hole new ball game.
