Hmmm. Thanks. I'm on MacOSX, with the PF firewall enabled.

Theoretically, turning on the Application Firewall (and allowing inbound connections to MinimWatch) should punch the appropriate holes in the firewall to allow MinimWatch to function. But I haven't had success with that.

Instead, the best I've been able to do is open up a (fixed) range of ports and hope for the best. This works, but I was hoping for something better.
