Firewalling
 

Probably a simple Question but never the less.

Firewalled Servents,

through necessity of all those fantastic script kiddies, I have to run a firewall (nothing Complex but enough to keep the idiots off) and as I need to use SW that only runs on MS 9x I am susceptible, so I run Zonealarm,

Gnotella 1.0.5 has been setup to access it and also to act as a server. Security is set to Medium, so that pings etc are not filtered but ports not in use can go whistle etc.

So if I am allowing requests through 6346, and ZA knows that Gnotella is a server, should I then need to check the Firewalled option.

and would this mean that firewall-firewall connections are not available...

Gone back to Gnotella after brief flirtations with other programs 1.0.5 is definately a step in the right direction.. (esp since I can ditch the skins <G>)

Now all we have to do is get the leeches and those people that think that bandwidth impresses <G>

Well Done Gnotella Crew

As long as ZA has server rights you don't need to have the Firewalled checked.

Thanks just wanted to make sure, was having probs with other FW but ZA medium setting seems to do the trick
