Firewall that allows Fasttrack

I am on Fedora 1 and my firewall know-how is zero. (sub zero)
I want to run a firewall and poke holes through it for file-sharing
via the giFT daemon.
I have managed to get mail, usenet, gnutella all working, but fasttrack
just goes down and I can't get it to work.
I have tried that app called guarddog, but it also blocks it, even though
it has a setting specially to allow fasttrack.

I use Kmyfirewall which write those freaky iptables scripts for me. (If
that helps)

Can anyone explain the procedure?
Tah,

Thanks for the info. I will have to play with the settings then. I had hoped
someone here may be running giFTd with the fasttrack plugin and they would
know that settings to use.

I can only post on weekends and rare times during the week.
South Africa has a Telkom that is insanely expensive.
Please forgive the slow replies to any threads.

first read up on IPTables then. When confronteed with it, you really
need to study it. No shortcuts.
