F-Secure Internet Security 2005 and XBox Live

[Ian]

Hi

I have my XBox connected to my computer via Internet Connection Sharing.
I do not want to buy a router at this time. The only way I can connect
to XBox Live is if I disable the firewall part of F-Secure which I don't
like doing. I can't work out how to tell F-Secure to allow XBox live but
block everything else. Has anyone managed to do this and if so how. Thanks.

If you can't work it out, routers are very inexpensive right now. I saw
one advertised today at my local Fry's for US $ 9.99. And a wireless
108 Mbps router for $ 29.99.

You must open some ports in the firewall.
The ports required are:


6500 (UDP) - For GameSpy Arcade
6700 (UDP) - For GameSpy Tunnel
