||unity-dev|| What port to autorize ?

Thanks for your reply Colin...When u say "It is not possible to elude all 
firewalls with Unity. Some of your users  will simply not be able to 
connect" do you mean that even with configuring their firewall they won't be 
able to connect ?

i had the matter this morning, with a company that is behind a hardware 
firewall...i asked them to open ports 9100, 80, 443, 1935 both on local and 
distant ip, and still they were not able to connect...
