I intend to start using Wuala (www.wuala.com, recentyl merged with
LaCie).
I'd like to share storage, but have not yet figured out which holes to
drill into my firewalls, both on my Mac (10.5.7, running the built-in
firewall) and my hardware firewall.
Does anyone have a list of ports and protocols necessary?
....

"In the settings tab you can see what port wuala is using. You only need
to open that one. here you may also change the port is you like ( let
wuala pick another random port )."

...and from the Wuala Blog...

"With one of our last versions of Wuala we introduced new methods for
NAT traversal. For all the geeks out there, here is a link to the IETF
RFC for STUN, the Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Through Network Address Translators (NATs):
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3489.txt. We now support full, restricted,
and port-restricted cone NATs. Isn't that great? ;-) 

Thank you.
Now if I get that correctly, I have to open port <local> (the one
indicated in Wuala > Options > Connection > Local Port) to UDP packets
coming from WAN and forward those packets to the NAT address of my
computer behind the firewall.

I did that (for a Zyxel 660 harware firewall) by inserting a rule:
packet direction WAN to LAN
Source IP any
Destination IP <my computers NAT address>
Service <local> UDP
Action Forward.

And in Mac OS X under System Preferences>Security>Firewall
by inserting into "Set access for specific services and applications" an
entry
Wuala Allow incoming connections

I did restart Wuala after entering the <my computers NAT address> into
the Internal Address.
It would not let me enter the External Address though.

And I still get a
Problem: Could not contact ping server A
:-(

Now I am STUNned ;-)
