Don, many thanks for your reply. One more question, if I may. Do I need to allow incoming traffic on just the one port, or are more incoming port numbers used. The reason I ask.... I noticed on one of my test runs, that frequest says.... Freenet core running on 1589 Freenet core running on 1590 then later, in the log file, I get ... request failed tcp/127.0.0.1:1591 Repeating the attempt gets numbers 1630, 1631, and a failure report on 1632. This implies that traffic is coming in to port numbers that are incremented in some way for each request. I'll have to set the ball in motion to have the settings changed on the fire wall. Right now, it doesn't allow anything more the the usual ftp, http, etc. Thanks, Gary.
