AltME can't connect

Hi list
Since Carl said at his blog "email is dead" =A0I guess I must put AltME to work
at my Linux Box :)
Well I am using a DSL connection with NAT and iptables rules ( a simple
firewall) and AltMe just can' t connect to AltME server.
I have already opened the ports mentioned by AltME crew on their site but
nothing happens.
What are the tricks to make it go?
thank you

Hi Carlos,
in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
I Have in part (mind the wrap)
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5500 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5400 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5401 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5402 -j
ACCEPT
and it is working for me on redhat

you also may have to explicitly allow (outgoing)
5500 for world name lookup (outgoing only)
