Port 8080 blocked

[FOMz]

I've just noticed that port 8080 is blocked on my PC adn as such F@H hasn't sent any units in...

Any idea's on how to unblock it?

Is is a firewall problem or a router problem??

Could be either,
what firewall you using? I think zone alarm allows port unblocking.....so does xp's built in one.
If its your router there should be a port forwarding option in there somewhere log into it and check through options, Netgear ones have web page which allows this setup.
I know I had to assign certain ports for WOW (I know its sad) to play.

What port is used by Internet Explorer? Tell F@H to use that. Works for me.

Internet explorer may use several different outgoing ports, port 8080 is a proxy port and is what port it uses at the other end.
