I have Kiwi running on server 2012 which is only 64 bit.
Created two inbound firewall rules, one for tcp, one for udp, to the kiwi app, 
C:\Program file (x86)\SysLogd\Syslogd_service.exe
Allow all ports for each rule.
Should be the same on win 7.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I'm thinking that turning off the firewall 
doesn't really open up everything like you would think.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Syslog Server for Windows 7 64 bit

I'm having issues getting a syslog server (both Kiwi and Syslog Watcher) 
running under 64 bit Windows 7. More specifically, getting a UDP connection to 
work. TCP works fine. Firewall turned off. I know the packets are reaching the 
Windows 7 machine (Netmon is showing that). I'm using Kiwi Syslog generator for 
testing, and even on the same Windows 7 machine, the syslog server isn't 
receiving the packets. I've tried running in Compatibility (XP), and running as 
administrator.

Works great under XP.

Does anybody know of a free syslog server that runs under Windows 7 64 bit (I'm 
going to experiment with 32 bit later today)?
