Tips

• Windows XP and later versions have a simple firewall function as a standard feature.

These settings are made at the ICF SETTINGS window. However, note that making these settings may expose your computer to illicit access.

• When communication is limited by firewall software other than the OS functions, enable the following .exe files. For a detailed description of the setting method, see the operation manual of the firewall software used. – McrewServer.exe – McTaskTray.exe – McService.exe – McFolderWatcher.exe – McrewHttpService.exe – McrewUPnPService.exe
