I don't use Paltalk, so I'm not familiar with the settings, yet that shouldn't
be necessary.
Either you use a firewall that allows specific programs to go through the
firewall, not depending on port used, or you use a firewall where you can
specify which port to be open perpetually.

It is *not* advisable to shut down your firewall.

Use a program like AWSPS from http://www.atelierweb.com to determine which port
is being used, then configure your firewall to allow traffic through that port.

If you can't keep your firewall up, you should forget using a program, as your
PC security is compromised too much.
