Hi Guys,

I have a little issue with FlashMediaServer, It all works great when I turn my
firewall off but for obvious reasons I need it on.
I have tried adding ports/programs to my Firewall Exeptions List but still I
have no luck.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
I am using Win XP Pro SP2

Is there a way to get my firewall to prompt me to give access to
FlashMediaServer?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

I have now solved it.

I know you solved this but I was wonder you run FMS on Win XP although the
installation requirements does not include Windows XP. Does it work ok?

It was not FMS it was my MySQL running on the same host which was blocked
and was not allowing the login to my Flash app.

I went ahead and did it and it is working. It appears that the Macromedia
web site is not claiming XP as a valid OS but in my meanderings I think I
passed over something official that claimed XP is ok.

The install claimed it uninstalled the FlashCom I had on there, but I have
not pursued that although even after I stopped the install to backup the
FlashCom folders. But when done I found all the folders still remained.

seems to work for me on Pro, from the dev side anyways. c

Ah ha.

Here is where I read XP was supported:
