cheers for those links
very simular to what i did and the first one is the reason i thought there
might be hope
as even microsoft says open a range ...

on a page saying "how to open ports"... :)

but typicaly no actual example of a range being opend .. just a single port ..

and theres the other bit that says hackinto the registry.. but thats for
some sort of microsoft service's ?

not the local and dialUP net ..
