Actually, in this case, you would just enter: 53 Mac OS X's firewall GUI is not designed to allow the full breadth of firewall rules. Instead, it's designed to make it easy to open ports for incoming packets, for the novice to intermediate user. If you really want the full use of the firewall capabilities, you must use the command line tool 'ipfwadm' in a boot script, rather that the GUI interface in System Preferences. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy
