I use Bearshare as my Gnutella client and have no issues with
downloading files but sharing is broken now that I put the PIX behind
my cable modem. I was using XP built-in firewall (no inbound traffic
allowed) before and it did not prevent sharing. Is PIX doing something
different? I thought that Gnutella clients do not need explicit
inbound ports open since uploads piggy-back on the open outbound
connections.
I haven't seen any errors in the PIX syslog but there is no upload
traffic from my MP3 collection (unless maybe all my songs suck).

Thanks,
Ron
