Windows Firewall
Need some help with determinig how to allow certain software to operate. I am
a new windows (XP) user. I downloaded a program that allows (or should allow) me to access the/a web site and do specific flight planning. I downloaded the required software succesfully, however, when I double click he downloaded software to access the spwcific web site/server, I am unable to do so. I contacted the software company and theysent me two pages which seems to indicate that the firewall is preventing me from accessing the server. I do not really understand what they sent as it is very technical. They also suggested I contact my IT department. Right! My IT department is me. Anyway, if someone just undestood what I tryed to convey, I would again appreciate some help and or guidence. Thanks -- Sammy |

Thanks It's exceedingly unlikely that WinXP's very rudimentary built-in firewall is preventing your accessing only one specific web-site. It doesn't monitor out-going network connections. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace.
