Note that clients do not need to open any ports, only the host does.

I would like to correct this. I need to open ports on my firewall. It depends on how stringent your firewall is. I recommend saying that "clients usually do not need to open any ports, only the host. Only if the client has an unusually high security firewall does the client need to open ports." Or somthing along those lines.

This is a tech support sticky, and as such should not be cluttered with replies. Decide weather to amend your post or not, then delete this post of mine please.  ;)
