Problem with firewall

[troglo]

I installed HFS, setup the IP address through dyndns.org, modified the router and as long as I don't use the firewall Sygate everything is working well.
When I allow Sygate to work, only 8760 bytes of the requested file are transferred!
Can you please help me?

how did you configure the firewall to make HFS pass?

[troglo]

well actually I let the firewall handle this.
This means, when I started HFS, Sygate asked me if it was allowed to connect to internet and I said yes.
More exactly it says the hfs.exe program has no limitations in contacting any IP adresses and any port.

got it
i would try creating rules, hoping to find a solution. a trial and error.

[troglo]

What kind of rule?
I have permitted everything to HFS (except drinking my coffee and having a date with my wife!)

I guarantee you: I didn't nothing except switching the PC off and on again!
And now it works!
(Let's see for how long!)

maybe you had to restart for the changes to your firewall to take effect?

maybe
or may be the usual "restart" magic

As Sygate uses a device driver (teefer.sys) to do it's work, I would say, rebooting is the way to go.
