I just took a look at that.
I thought of obliterating what I wrote and
providing a link to the Networking FAQ page, but I
decided against it because it's hard for a newbie
to find port settings on most 3rd party firewalls.
Yes, I know that by setting the application
permissions wide open with all ports, it's
probably a little less secure, but SlimServer only
sends and receives traffic on certain ports and
unless it's been modified by malware, this
shouldn't be a problem.
What I did was included a link to the Networking
FAQ page for the Windows firewall because IIRC the
Windows firewall doesn't set permissions by
application alone, it sets it by application/ports
(right?)
