I was contacted off-list and recommended to use
http://www.novell.com/test/port_tests.html to test my connection. It
revealed the following:

RMTP Default: Timed Out 21s
RMTP Default: Closed 21s
RMTP Port 80: Success 0.6s
RMTP Port 443: Success 0.6s
RMTPT (Tunneling) Default: Failed 1.6s
RMTPT (Tunneling) Port 80: Success 1.5s
RMTPT (Tunneling) Port 443: Failed 1.3s
RMTPT (Tunneling) Port 1935: Timed Out 20.1s
RMTPT (Tunneling) Port 1935: Closed 20.1s

Port 80 is used for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS. But I cant identify
anything in the list of protocols in Guarddog that uses port 1935.

Is there any problem in defining my own protocol that opens up port
1935?

Also: what is "Tunneling" and what might the default that timed out be?

So many questions. But I'd rather not be able to connect than act
in ignorance,

 All the best,
