Hi, im using BT Home HUB to connect to the internet and while i was looking around in the settings control i noticed i could set it up to run an application, so i went to set it up to run SL and it wasnt listed in the list of applications and when i tryed to add Sl to the list i have to fill in,

Protocol.
Port Range.
Translate To.
Trigger Protocol.
Trigger Port.

fields. So can anyone help me with filling in these fields to see if it makes my experience on SL a better one :)

Thanks in advance :)

When you set up your home LAN firewall, I would:

* Block all inbound connections (all ports invisible)
* Allow all outbound connections
* Install an adaptive ("learning";) SW firewall on the computer, for example ZoneAlarm

Thus SL will work and you will be protected at the same time.
