MyDAC and firewalls

A program made with D6 and MyDAC runs fine.
The Server is somewhere on the internet and has 3307 open for clients.
At some places I can make contact with the server and on other places not.

I am not supposed to look at people's firewall especialy if the client is in a LAN
Can you tell me which port is used on the client side?
Should the firewall be configured to make a forwarding to that port on the client.
Thanks for your help
Teunis :shock:

We use Winsock.Connect function to establish connection via network. It allocates port on the local host. You can check local port using any tool to analyze TCP/IP ports.
As a rule firewall allows you to specify application name to allow/refuse connecting to internet.
