Hi Ori,

Tank you for your great explinations. Should make sense.
You asked if you understand me allright. Wel yes i think you do

I will tell ya what i want to get working here.

ISPQ (www.ispq.com) is the videochat application that is running on my
workstation (10.0.0.50)
It listens to the TCP ports 2004,2005,2006...

Like explained earlier i made the accesrule, i am able to browse the
userdirectory lists, send and receive quick messages! But if someone calls
me it will be blocked!

What do i do worng? How would you set this up?

Thanks for you help,

Herman F.
