[Discuss] Problem accessing blu.org

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

Really weird.
The firewall management in the gateway differs from the firewall management
in xfinity.com/myxfi
In xfi firewall is either on or off, and in the gateway it is Custom,
minimum, typical, and maximum. While troubleshooting, I did change the
gateway's firewall settings. I didn't go the xfinity.com/myxfi site,
because the gateway port forwarding section points there. And, none of the
xfinity people I talked to mentioned that.
