If you have connectivity problems:
Go at
Firewall -> Common Tasks -> Stealth ports wizard and select
Alert me to incoming connections- stealth my ports on a per-case basis---------------------------
Because of a bug you must change the rule 5 (for HTTP requests) to allow. I hope this will be resolved with the next updates.
