yeah, heres the deal: for a while now, i've been having problems with getting the images on minitokyo to load. sometimes they would, sometimes they wouldn't. first of all, no, firefox isn't blocking them, and yes, i checked Common Problems in MT. i recently figured out that my firewall was blocking them. see, my firewall is different from most. it operates strictly on ports and protocols. TCP port 80 is the default HTTP port, but i know that web servers can use other ports instead. thus, i can chose to allow necessary ports such as TCP 53 (DNS), 67-68 (DHCP), 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), and so on, but block everything else, making my computer much more secure.
this might be something that only the server admin could answer, but what port is used for Minitokyo images? i could probably figure it out with WireShark, but i really don't feel like poking around at the contents of a couple hundred packets trying to find which one carried image data to my computer. call me lazy, i'll say, "who? me?"
anyways, thanks in advance for your time and effort in helping me solve this problem!
