I am using windows 7 -
I have Bell Synpatico internet security

I am unable to use MJ unless I turn off Firewall.

Any suggestions?

Beyond the obvious???

Open udp ports 5060-5070 and 10000-20000 in your firewall.
Good Luck

Click the "Start" icon.
Click "Control Panel"
Click "System and Security"
On the right pane you will see Windows Firewall listed.
Next to it, click "Allow a program through Windows Firewall"

You also need 80 and 443 if they are not already open.

You may need to open these ports on your router. Don't ask how to do that; read your manual.

If I open ALL these ports, what is the use of firewall?

This is dangerous..
