It does not make any difference if your client is cygwin or any other flavor of Unix. You would have to adapt what you call inside and outside, but here what I have open on my firewall: UDP from server to client port=10080 UDP from client port=10080 to server (because there may be a VERY long time between the server request and the client response, and the firewall table would expire before the response is sent; this rule is the oposite of the previous one). TCP from server to client (on any port, because the client will inform the server of the specific ports it wants to use at each run. There is a module in iptable/ipchain to manage that, there is a way to restric the list of ports being used and then the list of ports to keep open. In my case the firewall is protecting the server, so opening outgoing ports is not so much an issue.) TCP from client to server port=10082 TCP from client to server port=10083 (for indexing purpose? or for amrestore to access the index server?) Bests, Olivier
