wussa UPD header?

i know you didn't say that, but i didn't say what you're mentioning either.

so what? even if that were true, all that would mean is that the udp packets will not be recieved by the cable modem. which is ridiculous because the cable modem will recieve anything udp sends it since it is a connectionless protocol. udp HEADERS only tell where the udp packets are going. udp runs on the transport layer(4) and has nothing to do with blocking tcp ports on the network layer(3).

this is so frustrating. wahhhh!!!
