2004 / any firewall hints and trips?
« on: February 02, 2004, 06:24:48 AM »
Hi Mrious....
Advice from Da Lowlands! I even could do this in Dutch !!! I mean only if you're not French Speaking from Antwerp(en).... But for the sake of intelligibillity (spelling?) here it is in Common Speak!
Apart from all the sane advice about security, I have this little comment on using X's firewall together with iChat.... I understood that using the firewall prevented sending images?? I looked around in the preferences for the firewall and the system itself gives the possibillity to 'free' the port iChat uses (and it's possible to open ports which are not yet 'stated').... Perhaps that will solve the sending images thing!
Go to System Preferences, Internet/Networks, Sharing, Firewall.... and the rest will be pretty intuitive.... But! I just noticed that the window says: "allow incoming...." Dunno what it'll mean for sending though.... Hmmm.....
Greetz, Stef
