RE: Windows XP SP2 and Firewall
I'll do some research on how to change the firewall settings from a running program. Any comments and ideas? What happens when X crashes? We *have* to restore the firewall in this case. I *think* we can catch this case using SEH - but we can't compile using gcc then... Maybe we need a wrapper script when runs disable firewall, run X, enable firewall. Works well (until the use kills the wrapper script...) Stuart

I grabbed a version from Wine and (I think) made a few hand modifications to it to get it to work. Harold

However, I don't think we are going to have to modify anything anyway, since the default for the new firewall in SP2 is to allowing incoming connections for a few seconds from the remote host after an outbound connection has been made to it. This should work just fine with our outbound UDP connection that expects to get a return TCP connection for Xdmcp. Harold

Maybe we need a wrapper script when runs disable firewall, run X, enable firewall. Works well (until the use kills the wrapper script...) I'll play with the test program I've written. Maybe this will get an simple commandline interface for configuring ICF. But first I have to find an WinXP with installed ICF anywhere. Win2k did not have it and the plain XP box (no SPs) here hasn't it either. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 Chemnitzer Linux-Tag 2004 - 6. und 7.

Re: Windows XP SP2 and Firewall
Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place? ICF came with WinXP originally. Open a network connection-Properties-Advanced-Checkbox for ICF.
