What should I do in Windows Firewall to get Gizmo working ? [Solved]

(1/4) > >>

Ton:
I cannot get Gizmo working from my Archos tablet when Windows Firewall on my pc is turned on. When I turn Windows Firewall off it works fine, so it has to do with the settings in Windows Firewall.
When I open Windows Firewall settings I see that Media Center 17 is listed as Allowed for Home Network. Is there anything else I have to do there ?
Thanks in advance.

JimH:
You need to open a port for access.  This might help:

Thanks Jim for your reply.
When I look at the Inbound Rules in Windows Firewall on my pc I see Media Center 17 "Enabled", "Allowed", and "Any" for Ports (TCP and UDP).
Is that not enough or correct ?

It has not to do with my modem/router, because when I turn Windows Firewall Off, everything works.

And I forgot to mention that Gizmo did work in the past, that is after I installed MC 17 the 1st time. Last week however I uninstalled and re-installed MC and also updated to build 117. Didn't try Gizmo then, but now I did and cannot get connection. Nothing was changed in Windows meanwhile.

Ton:
I solved it meanwhile by checking the "Public" box as well for MC 17 in Windows Firewall.
Just to be sure: Has this indeed to be checked ?

JimH:
You probably only need 52199 open.  It's whatever port Media Network is on.
