Sometimes it works, but the majority of the time I have that problem. I know it is not mozilla that is the problem because I can produce it on my windows box with other news clients. Here is the output of "ipfw show | grep 119" 00425 30925 1359340 allow tcp from any to any 119 keep-state out xmit ep0 setup 00426 0 0 allow udp from any to any 119 keep-state out xmit ep0 00605 0 0 allow tcp from any 119 to any keep-state in recv ep0 setup 00606 0 0 allow udp from any 119 to any keep-state in recv ep0 if its not the firewall and these rules are ok, then what else could it be? With Battlefield 1942.. it uses port 14567. I cant get this to work at all. I have the following in my firewall rules: 00335 0 0 allow tcp from any 14567 to any keep-state out xmit ep0 setup 00336 0 0 allow udp from any 14567 to any keep-state out xmit ep0 00620 0 0 allow tcp from any to any 14567 keep-state in recv ep0 setup 00621 0 0 allow udp from any to any 14567 keep-state in recv ep0 any ideas what's wrong with these rules? any help is greatly appreciated.
