GeekAzoid Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Hi! I'm having troubles with the Windows XP firewall, my problem is that my messenger doesn't open the TCP or UDP ports automatically, and then I can't do voice conversations or video. Netmeeting works fine but messenger not. Anyone can help me, please? Thanks!!

0 fr33k Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 have you tried zone alarm? http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10105...lst-7-1.8034258 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/7506-problems-with-the-xp-firewall/#findComment-53185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 c.w. Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 disable the windows xp firewall and get tiny personal firewall or zonealarm. Both are free products and are far superior to the default crap MS included with XP. I use tiny personal firewall and have had no problems thus far. http://www.tinysoftware.com Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/7506-problems-with-the-xp-firewall/#findComment-53626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krome Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Microsoft now have a fix that allow some of the known problem occur with its firewall & network... you can dl the critical update and the fix will fix that built-in firewall... And it should work... Hope this will solve that problem... Prior to install the fix, when I enable my firewall, I could not allow networking to work properly. Now everything works just as it should, with the built-in firewall enabled...
