IOS and Personal Firewalls

[1/6] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 14-Oct-2003 15:08

Hi, I'm currently testing the virus & personal firewall "bitdefender" (www.bitdefender.com) If bitdefender is active I can connect to a IOS server but I can't launch any Reblet. IOS seems to do something "special" when launching a Reblet. Does someone use bitdefender as well and can confirm this behaviour? I really don't have a clue what the problem is. -- Robert M.

AFAIK reblets connect to desctop through tcp/ip. maybe your firewall thinks connections from localhost to localhost are wrong and tries to defend your bits? -Volker

Hi, good point, I forgot about this. But I checked the firewall stuff, it has a very simple rule engine. Where I have created an entry for rebol-link.exe. The rule I have set is: Type (UDP/TCP) Direction both Action Permit Application rebol-link.exe (with path) Ports Any Addresses Any IMO this should work... really strange. -- Robert M.

Hi, one more. I noticed that an other rebol-link process is started and everythings seems to be fine (no error messages) but the GUI isn't displayed... the process is a zombie process. -- Robert M. M�nch Management & IT Freelancer Mobile: +49 (177) 245 2802 http://www.robertmuench.de

Hi Robert, isn't it DNS look-up process? IIRC Holger said they use second process to achieve better async behavior, but maybe he was talking only Linux version, do not remember exactly ... btw - I tried Zone Alarm some time ago and as I had some problems with IOS too, I removed it ... It is bad there are still some problems ... -pekr-

Hi, I don't think so, because the firewall should pop-up and ask about it. But there seems nothing to happen that tirggers the firewall. Robert
