Thanks. Sorry but I don't know what you mean by view mode. I could not find
its referene in the Firestarter maual.
I got my connection by adding the ip address of my Windows machine to
Firestarter's "Allow Connections from Host"

We had an issue with firestarter earlier this year but I don't know which
version it was.

The issue was that we lost our ipsec connection.  But nobody had done
any changes to the firewall.  Turns out that when we ran firestarter even in
view mode it changed the firewall without use doing a save or change.
