If you have a software-based firewall such as Black Ice, Norton Internet Security, or McAfee Personal Firewall installed on your PC, it may be necessary to adjust your settings to allow the TiVo server to broadcast the beacon signal to your TiVo DVRs. For more information on configuring your firewall, refer to the documentation provided by the firewall manufacturer. If you are using the XP Built-In Firewall, your ports will be configured automatically during the installation of TiVo Desktop. The following ports must be open to allow your Windows PC to communicate with your DVR: TCP port 37 TCP port 2190 TCP port 4430 TCP port 7287 TCP port 7288 TCP port 8000 TCP ports 8080-8089 UDP port 123 UDP port 2190 --- In [email protected], "Jim Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm helping a friend who is a dorm parent at a private university.
