[Howdy, this is reposted/updated from the Android board as this seems like a more appropriate place for the question upon further reflection.

Hello, I've recently acquired one of these fancy phones that is supposed to be smarter than I am and have installed Gizmo on it. I'm having trouble getting it connected to my server while my firewall is enabled though.
My question is, what ports should I need to allow in order to have the connection work? I have set the port listed under "Media Network" options to be allowed, but access is still blocked. If I disable the firewall I can connect and use Gizmo just fine. It's probably an issue of me not understanding my firewall software well enough, but I'd like to ensure I'm not missing something with the MC setup before I wade into that literature. I'm using Comodo firewall in case anyone else has got that set up working.
Using the firewall interface, it doesn't
appear that Gizmo is trying to make any request to the MC server (using the firewall logs). This doesn't really make sense to me since Gizmo is able to connect with the firewall turned off. Does Gizmo use some sort of "passive request" (I've never heard of such a thing, but sometimes I miss stuff) to connect to the server?
Previously I was able to connect another laptop with MC16 on it to the server with the firewall on (and the same firewall settings as current). Now I am no longer able to connect this laptop to the server. Has anything changed with the server behavior?
I've investigated the firewall options pretty thoroughly and everything appears to be straight forward.
Thanks for any pointers. -Jon
