How do I keep ports open

[Gear]

Hi, I finally have broadband (256kb adsl) after years of having 28.8/33.6kb modem connection.

Everything is working fine (games, http, ftp, p2p); but I get a message in a irc fserver that I must have port 59 open.

So, I need help to resolve this issue.

The adsl router is a greatspeed GS-R250S. The support page (www.greatspeed.com) seems to be gone, and I have no way to configure the router.

Those ISP bastard changed the password...

But I managed to open the port, opening a service for TCP/UDP using connections-->internet connection-->configuration in winxp

Thanks for the help

Do you have that worthless built-in WinXP firewall up?
