Windows Firewall settings for SC?

[mschlack]

I recently upgraded my server from W2003 to 2008 and am having issues with Windows Firewall. Anyone know what the correct firewall rule is to allow SC to communicate with SqueezeBox?

Sorry if this has been covered in past posts, but couldn't find them in Search.

Have a look in the FAQ (http://slimdevices.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/slimdevices.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5956&p_created=1168468472&p_sid=2ECrwzjj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfc m93X2NudD0xMTYsMTE2JnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0 mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ub CZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1).

Any other problems, let us know. If you have the AlienBBC plugin installed, you may need to add an exception for socketwrapper.exe as well (though I haven't needed to do this since v6.5).

Those settings worked. It seems, though, that there may also be a bug in the 7.2.1 install with WinServer 2008. At least, in my case, I had to do a full uninstall and reinstall, because the service wasn't starting otherwise.
