Ariel Installation Guide: "Setting Up Ariel 3.4 or 3.3 with a Firewall
Two new options in Ariel 3.4 and 3.3 greatly improve firewall compatibility: (1) a setting for users who operate behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) firewall or router, and (2) different settings to limit the data port range. Recommended: Set Ariel 3.4 or 3.3 to use default data port 422.
Information for network administrators:
Ariel ports 419 and 422 should permit inbound TCP traffic to your Ariel computer. You will need to permit outbound TCP traffic for your Ariel computer for ports 419, 422 and 1024 � 5000.
Ariel requires a static IP address on the computer that hosts Ariel.
Information for users setting up Ariel:
From the Settings menu, select Preferences, and then Firewalls to open the Firewall Settings dialog box.
To use NAT Settings:
With NAT, your private Ariel IP address uses a corresponding public IP address through which outside Internet traffic is routed. Hence, in a static NAT environment, Ariel operates without interruption and without compromising your network system's security.
Empty your Ariel Send Queue.
In the Firewall Settings dialog box, check the Use Net Addressing Translation box.
Enter the public IP address for your Ariel machine in the Host IP Address: field.
Note: The public IP address must also be static.
Click OK to save your changes. You must restart Ariel for changes to take effect.
Note: Only one Ariel computer can be used on a firewall running NAT.
To select Data Ports
Ariel 3.4 and 3.3 gives you three different options for data port settings:

This is why it brings up the Netspy Trojan alert, when u install XP's fax program.
The info below is from the Symantec site.
When you start the computer, you see a notice from the Alert Tracker that says 'Rule Default Block Netspy Trojan Horse Matched' or you see a Security Alert that says the following:
'High Risk, Attempt to connect to local computer using the Netspy Trojan horse blocked.
Program: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe
Protocol: TCP (inbound)
Remote Address: 127.0.0.1 : 1035
Local Address: All local network adapters: 1024'
You computer has Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall installed.
Solution:
This problem typically occurs on computers that run Windows XP when the program Fax Service is enabled.
The Remote Address of 127.0.0.1 indicates that the attempt to access your computer is being made by a program on your computer, and not by a Trojan Horse program. Blocking this communication prevents the local program from functioning correctly.
To resolve the problem, disable the NIS or NPF rule for the Netspy Trojan Horse.
To disable the Netspy Trojan Horse rule
1. Open NIS or NPF.
2. Click Personal Firewall, and then click Configure.
3. Click the Advanced Tab.
4. Click Trojan Horse Rules.
5. Click the entry 'Default Block Netspy Trojan horse.'
6. Uncheck the rule.
Note: Unchecking the 'Default Block Netspy Trojan horse' rule does not create a security hole. NIS will alert you when a real Trojan tries to access your computer.
7. Click OK, and then OK again."
