    Guarddog questions

    I'm running Jaunty. For some reason, I cannot run Pogo games when the firewall is enabled. I've tried allowed "direct play gaming", thinking that might help, but it didn't. So i guess I need a custom protocol. What ports does Pogo use so I can allow them? Hopefully someone knows... and yes, I do have java. Pogo works if I turn the firewall off. Also, Ktorrent does not work either. I happen to know the ports this one uses, but when I make the protocol, it still doesn't allow torrents to run. The ports I'm trying are 6881 and UDP 4444. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try using different ports for your torrents because many ISPs mess around with the default ports. As for pogo, from what I have read on the web, they constantly change ports, so its going to be difficult for you to play with the firewall enabled.
