When I re-did my network, and re-booted my Windows 7 F@H boxes, the Windows Firewall prompted me to allow F@H on Public networks. I hit Cancel.

As far as I know, in order to crunch, F@H just needs outbound access, right? It doesn't need listening sockets, and won't be contacted by the server?

I would think that in order for F@H to send/receive units and information it would need access to your local router. mine asked me too, and I allowed, but not sure if I needed to....
