Computer question

Is there any geek here who has some knowledge about P2P and Firewall?

 

[cuthroat]

well sometimes certain firewalls will prevent peer to peer sharing if thats what your asking. If your willing to take the risk disable your firewall while downloading. Always scan files for virus's/trojans etc. before opening them. It's just to easy to screw your computer over these days.

Alright here is my question:

My P2P client use a port in TCP and UDP incoming, let's say 8000
this P2P client also requires Javaw.exe to allow the same incoming connections

Can I let opened all the ports for those 2 applications or should I block all ports except 8000?

If it tells you it wants port 8000, you don't need to open anything else. Giving java all ports == not a great idea. Make it ask for what it wants.

Lot of lazy developers out there, taking a "throw your legs wide open" approach. (We get packages all the time that say "set the protection on this directory to allow ANYBODY IN THE WORLD TO WRITE TO IT." Yeah, I'm really gonna do that for some lazy, fuggin', mommy-mating Pakistani freeware writer.)
