Certain programs won't work with Guarddog

Hi,
	I'm trying to set up a firewall using Guarddog, but several programs 
that I use regularly seem to simply not work whenever I use Guarddog to 
manage my firewall, even if all the correct TCP/UDP ports are open (all 
of these work if I :

	- mDNSResponder (Apple's opensource mDNS implemetation) doesn't work 
at all

	- Any of the Unreal Tournament-series games - Direct-to-IP gaming 
works fine, but games that I'm serving don't show up in the LAN Game 
browsers of other people on my LAN.

	- OpenAFS (<http://openafs.org/>, at boot, continuously reports that 
it has "lost contact with the server"; this stalls startup more or less 
indefinitely.

	I've tried defining protocols and opening all of the TCP/UDP ports 
that these services claim to need, as well as opening a whole bunch of 
extra ports that were getting dropped packets.  All of these things 
work fine if I disable the firewall, though I'd really rather have a 
working firewall...  I'm not certain about the OpenAFS, but the other 
two problems seem like they're caused by the firewall dropping 
broadcast packets.  Could this be the problem?, and if so, is there a 
way to fix it?

Thanks,
Adam
