This is the first time I've ever run into this, so I'd appreciate any help (simple English would help, as I'm not really a techie):

Using the GuestTek complimentary DSL at the Elliott Grand Hyatt in SEA, I'm finding I have to disable my firewall to access FT and a handful of other sites. Otherwise, I get a "connection refused" prompt.

The firewall is built into Mac OSX, activated by a small application named Impasse, which just puts a GUI on for us non-Unix folks.

I'm a little uncomfortable running a DSL connection without my firewall...and I don't understand why enabling it shuts me out of FT (and WebFlyer).

Help...???

Aloha.
