I've set up my router so that it allows the particular port number through. When I was looking into the 'Allow Exceptions' properties of the Firewall, I tried adding the Client-side application of the program as part of what to let through. But it wouldn't let the packets from the program through? What am I missing?

DPI is not usually a solution implemented by firewalls - the firewall itself is usually too low in the OSI model. -- PJH http://shabbleland.myminicity.com/com http://www.chavgangs.com/register.php?referer=9375 ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send a blank message to <mailto:[email protected]>.Yahoo!
