and i'm guessing i input the port #'s in the allow incoming UDP and incoming TCP ports rite?

can u or anyone else confirm that i have to allow these ports in the frwall? and how come shadow's exp uses 6881-6999 when the guide said they go to 6889?

This is from the guide that u said didn't say shit about ZA.

ZoneAlarm Pro v. 3.5.166
ZoneAlarm Pro is a popular software package used to perform basic packet filtering and other security-related tasks. Here is how we got ZoneAlarm to work with Conference Manager:

Doubleclick on the ZoneAlarm icon in the system tray, navigate to the "Firewall" section, and then to the "Internet Zone Security" section.

You can proceed in one of two ways:


Set "Internet Zone Security" to "Med.".
or


Leave "Internet Zone Security" set to "High", but adjust which UDP ports are allowed past the ZoneAlarm firewall/packet filter. Click "Custom" in the "Internet Zone Security" area, scroll down to and check "Allow Incoming UDP ports", then enter "15900-15999" (omit the quotation marks, but include the hyphen) in the associated text input field. Click "Apply".

[muchspl2]

I refuse to help him any more, I gave him that very same link at least twice before
and my only conclusion is he is a dumbass, I'm sorry to say

[abu_has_the_power]

ok, i'm a dumbass, but just answer the tcp and udp question. do i allow 6881-6889 on both, or just udp?

Why would BT use UDP ? Using UDP means you don't care if the data gets through completely or not, and that's not quite what you want now is it ?

Have you ever thought of reading the FAQ for BT? http://btfaq.com/
