I can't help you with FMS, i've given up on that (i'm not going to rant about
it). It's still used by a few people but from what my node picks up there are
significantly more active conversations on Frost, unfortunately developers have
stopped reading all the bug reports there *cough*.
The problem seems to be that something has stopped Frost connecting to your
node. Is your node running on the same machine? If so then you did *not* need to
forward 9481 port on the router, but you might have needed to open it on Zone
Alarm anyhow (i'm not sure). Now, Zone Alarm also keeps track of what
applications try to access the network, Frost needs to be one of them, even
though it only accesses the node (and i believe you can specify that) it needs
to have that access, otherwise that might be causing the problem.
Can you check that and get back to me on the list?

P.S. You don't want to post the Node ports on the open list, because this way
others will be able to know that it's you who has connected to them. Of course
if it doesn't matter, then it's ok, but it creates an atmosphere where others
may slip and post that info also.
