I am using my iMac as an Airport Basestation.
I have the OSX Firewall turned on and I have Personal Web Sharing turned on.
I can share the internet quite happily on my PB, and Software Update work fine as well.

The problem comes when i try to use iSync, I want to sync to my .Mac account, but it cannot connect to it. It seems that the firewall stops the connection from being made.

If I turn the firewall off iSync connect to .Mac OK and it sync. If I turn it back on no sync.

What else do i need to turn on in the firewall to enable iSync to connect to .Mac via my Airport network ?

Thanks in advance

Ian
