Re: Kerio 4.2.3 packet filter rule
Hello Caution. Thanks so much for the reply, and please take care of yourself before worrying about replying  .
Yes, I believe the piggyback is likely legit according the Microsoft's peculiar point of view, though it is definitely something non-standard since it shows up that way. And as you said, Microsoft doesn't tell us what's going on.
This is the first such problem I've run up against using Kerio. Actually, this is the first time I've ever used any messaging program, but I've got a new contract and the boss wants to use it so I must. However, when he asked me to install Windows Messenger, I googled for it and installed Windows Live Messenger. I had no idea they were two different things. Would there be any advantage to removing the latter and installing the former?
Live Messenger uses TCP ports 80, 443, and 1683. It also uses port 7001, and I noticed that all connections to that port were UDP. So I have one rule for Outbound TCP/80/443/1683, and another rule for Outbound UDP/7001. Both rules use the 'Messenger' IP group, which I created and populated with all the IP addresses Messenger asked for. I used the same IP group for both the TCP and UDP rules; is that acceptable?
Thanks again for your help, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
