Are you sure that, its the firewall that is not sending your packets to pass through or the client application is not sending the packets at all. You could verify this using a packet analyzer like wireshare or ethereal ( they are same and they are not).
I would suspect the client code, since you already mentioned that you configured the firewall to let your client app packets to pass through. ________________________________ From: Michael White <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 8:32:06 AM Subject: Re: [c-prog] Question: Having a program recognize a GUID Isn't TCP a standardized protocol where if it hits any firewall that it has to be handled the same way? Firewall in question is the packaged Firewall with Windows (XP and Vista). Just using the Winsock library. Everything is C++. I saw a piece in one of my books on DirectX about GUIDs being a parameter to a packet that's about to be sent. --- On Thu, 7/16/09, Tyler Littlefield <ty...@tysdomain. com> wrote: From: Tyler Littlefield <ty...@tysdomain. com> Subject: Re: [c-prog] Question: Having a program recognize a GUID To: c-p...@yahoogroups. com Date: Thursday, July 16, 2009, 11:24 PM you might start off by telling us what libs, platform, and firewall your using; that would help out a bit. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael E White To: c-p...@yahoogroups. com Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 11:22 PM Subject: [c-prog] Question: Having a program recognize a GUID Hello everyone, I'm a fairly new programmer-in- training. I'm writing the code for a Client/Server application. I'm trying to research how to get a Firewall to recognize an inbound packet from the client application. I'm using C++ (yes I know, there's newer languages, but speed is important). If anyone can point me to a tutorial, or is willing to show me an example, I would appreciate it. I've already tried setting the Firewall settings to recognize the Client Program. But that still didn't allow the packets through. So, I deduced that I've got to get the Firewall to be able to recognize the packets themselves. Am I on the right path here?
