A button for enabling/disabling the library server..
« on: March 03, 2015, 06:40:09 pm »

Hello

I have my library server setup, however sometimes I want to disable my library server, and the only way to do this is to go into the options and manually untick the box.
It would be nice if there was a button that you could click on, that allowed you to enable/disable your library server with having to go into the options.

Thoughts?

Can you explain why you want to enable and disable this regularly?

This could be done with a Windows firewall rule controlled by a batch file. It used to be something like:

Code: [Select]
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 52199 MC
Code: [Select]
netsh firewall delete portopening TCP 52199 MC
...but I haven't done this in years.

Glynor is the resident expert Windows guy, so maybe he has a better idea of the syntax.
