Last week ago, i signed up for the Microsoft OneCare Beta and was accepted as a tester. After installing onecare, i was impressed, but disappointed to find that flashfxp couldnt connect to the internet in anyway anymore. I registered it as an allowed program and even allowed the ports ffxp was using, neither did the trick. when the onecare firewall is disabled, ffxp works great.
Next, i proceeded to print a support log with detailed firewall info... here is what i found:
The following request was blocked:
Full Application Path: C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\flashfxp.exe
Version:
Local Computer: 192.168.0.5:1157
Remote Computer: 67.XXX.XX.23:1001
Protocol Name: TCP
Protocol Number: 6
Traffic Direction: Outbound
BUT... I already allowed flashfxp in the firewall as proven below:
Application:
Full Path: C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\flashfxp.exe
Application Name: FlashFXP
Product Name: FlashFXP
Version: 3.2.0.1080
Company: IniCom Networks, Inc.
Publisher:
Access Scope: Allowed (Internet)
Manually added to the policy
NOTICE... the version number stated in the above log is 3.2.0.1080, the version number in the blocked log is blank. i believe this has something to do with flashfxp being incompatible with onecare.
If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this or is experiencing a similiar problem or has this working, please reply or drop me an email. thanks.
