Hi John,
I'm not saying to switch or get rid of your firewall. What you can do is
temporarily disable it and unplug your ethernet connection, then make the
adjustments I forementioned. I think you'd be safe that way. When you're
all done, re-enable and plug your internet connection back in. Don't forget
to reboot.
