Re: xAP Floorplan beta 4 released

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, I was just about to post a new question about xAP and firewalls.
I noticed with xAP Desktop that there were no xAP msgs unless I
disabled Sygate Personal Firewall.

I've now loaded Floorplan again and it's seen 4 devices. I guess I
should wait longer to see if it's informed of the other devices.

Are you or anyone else running Sygate Personal? If so please can you
tell me how to enable xAP communications without having to disable
the firewall? Usually when an app tries to use a port for the first
time Sysgate alerts me and provides the option to grant access, but
it's never given me the option for xAP. I think it just sees it as a
naughty bit of traffic and automatically blocks it.

I tried creating a rule to allow port 3639 but it didn't work.

Thanks,
Gary.
