The firewall problem has been around since at least June when problems with Norton Firewall were reported. If I remember correctly, the problems originated with RC3.

Each time the issue is brought up it seems like the standard answer is that it is the user's problem - don't blame XOOPS. However, can anybody show where any other Nuke fork has this problem?

Borrowing from a post in June . . .

It seems that some users either have to change firewall settings or XOOPS needs to change something. Can we really tell visitors to our sites that they must alter their firewall settings in order to register and log in? How would you go about telling a user to either turn off their firewall, modify their firewall settings, or don't bother to visit your site?

Do others share this concern or is it just me?
