Andreas Vogel (March, 1998): Nothing beyond the usual. In fact things are even better, you can run a SSL-enabled gatekeeper on port 443 which should get you through most firewalls. Extended Question Nick Battle (July, 1998)51: I'm talking about the issue of "Target Object Identities" in CORBASEC appendix E.6.2 [ed: D.6.2 in the current version of the spec] (at least it used to be in the July 97 spec I have to hand!). The problem is that IORs are not self securing.

No you should not have any issues connecting to the service, the connection between our systems and your computer runs over SSL. Most firewalls allow these types of connections through on port 80.

This is happening because the automatic update checking feature is turned on in the main preferences. If you uncheck the box that is labeled as follows, the program will be quiet again: Absolutely no information is sent to us during the update process. It simply connects to the first available web server and asks for a tiny text file that tells VNCScan what the latest version is.

In order to access BSP Internet Banking service, you need to have JavaScript & Cookies enabled on your browser. This is the default setting for most browsers and therefore you probably won't have to change anything to access BSP Internet Banking. We check both these settings when you click on the 'Logon' button. If any settings are required, we will display a page explaining what needs to be done.

Additionally, the license manager integrated in ImageAssembler is sending broadcast messages to your local network. These messages are sent only to your local network if you have one. They will never been sent to the Internet.

One of the most frustrating tasks in setting up a network is getting computers with different firewall settings to communicate with each other. Network Magic makes it easy by automatically detecting the different firewalls, like Symantec/Norton, McAfee and Zone Alarm, and walking you through the key settings you need to adjust to allow your computers to communicate with each other.

Second Life needs to connect to ports 443/TCP, 12043/TCP, 12035/UDP, 12036/UDP, and 13000-13050/UDP. You should configure your firewall to allow outbound traffic on those ports, and related inbound traffic.

If you are trying to access Blackboard from home, you will have to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance. If you are trying to access Blackboard from work, you'll have to contact your employer's network administrator.

Yes, both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional have the built-in Internet Connection Firewall. The steps to turn on the firewall are identical. You might not be logged on as an administrator. You must be logged on as an administrator to turn on Internet Connection Firewall. When you first set up your Windows XP computer, the procedure guides you through the process of establishing an administrator account and password.

Way uses only wininet.dll for Internet access — the same function library which is used by Windows Internet Explorer — and it requires only normal http access. This means that there should be no problems with firewalls. If for some reason a user can't access your website, then simple procedures for handling this are described in the 1Way Help file.

I have entered the correct username and password, have cookies enabled, and have confirmed that a firewall is not blocking access, but and I am still having problems accessing Moodle.

Yes. You should turn on the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall for all computers in your home network. This helps prevent the spread of viruses or worms across your network if a computer is infected. A computer on the network could become infected through a separate Internet connection, such as one on a laptop that is used on your home network and on public networks. Or a virus could be introduced to a computer on your network by way of e-mail or software installed from a CD or floppy disk.

Attention ALL MAC Users: Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft for Apple Computers. Apple's browser (Safari) is recommended. Mac OS 9.2 is the minimum supported. OS 9.2 will work without an installed Citrix client. (Note: OS 9.0 and OS 9.1 will not work unless the Internet Explorer (IE) version is at 5.4 or higher. This is a Java issue prior to OS 9.2 that prevents a Citrix desktop from being launched via the web interface.) Loading a Citrix client on a Mac OS 9.

iMacros is available as Internet Explorer add-in, so you can run all macros directly inside the real Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. But you can also use the iMacros Browser because the iMacros browser is 100% Internet Explorer compatible. It comes with all Internet Explorer functions and Plugins, including Cookies, ActiveX Controls, Java Script and Macromedia Flash. If you use iMacros for web testing automation, this means that you can run all IE related tests in the iMacros Browser, too.

The answer to this question is in two parts: The core Unified Communications infrastructure includes a firewall and is secure. E-mail, call processing, billing, the Portal, etc. are securely protected from outside intrusion. However, the onsite Internet access provided by the service does not include a customer-site firewall. If this option is desired, Encompass can provide this service as an add-on. One option is to provide a "Firewall Feature Set" on the provided router.

ZoneAlarm may say that eDexter is asking for server rights the first time you run it, but you may safely deny that permission. After eDexter is running, you may occassionaly receive an alert stating that eDexter is attempting to access the Internet. eDexter does not attempt to access the Internet at any time, and this is probably an error in the way ZoneAlarm is handling a port 80 probe. What you are most likely seeing is ZoneAlarm reporting a port 80 probe to your computer.

The PMP web console always uses HTTPS to communicate with the PMP server. The PMP server comes with a default self-signed SSL certificate, which the standard web browsers will not recognize and issue a warning. Particularly IE 7's warning message appears serious.

Windows Firewall monitors all network traffic on the connections for which it is enabled. The firewall keeps track of all communications that have originated from your computer, and it prevents unsolicited traffic from reaching your computer. If necessary, the firewall dynamically opens ports and allows your computer to receive traffic that you have specifically requested, such as a Web page for which you have clicked the address.

Windows Firewall serves as the primary defense against a variety of computer worms that are transmitted over the network. A computer worm is similar to a virus, but is self-contained and can spread without the help of other programs. The Internet Connection Firewall helps to protect your computer by hiding it from external users and preventing unauthorized connections to your computer.

Although not completed, generally speaking, yes - you can share with someone outside your firewall, as long as your firewall does not restrict iFolder traffic. iFolder sends data over port 80 (HTTP), so it must be allowed through your firewall to give external users access to your iFolder server.

Yes, in some cases there are problems accessing Web Folders from behind a proxy server. The Web Folders feature uses the WebDAV protocol for communications between your computer and the My Docs Online servers. The WebDAV protocol is fully supported by proxy servers that are HTTP 1.1 compliant. HTTP 1.0 proxy servers may not support WebDAV. For a partial list of proxy servers supporting HTTP 1.1 and WebDAV visit the official WebDAV site at www.webdav.org/other/proxy.
