No, I can't. It does not connect. I am not quite sure what the problem could
be. The only thing I am dubios about is my local xdsl router with NAT -- but
I have not experienced any problem with another site. Perhaps it's just the
combination of the firewall and my router. I will try at work tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your response. I just wanted to be sure it's a local
problem. I will come back to the list when I found the problem and/or it's
solution.
