Making the Windows Firewall Settings
This setting opens the Windows Firewall so you can enjoy music files
stored on your computer via the unit.
Here is the detailed explanation of step 9 (page 14) of “Installing M-
crew Server”.
Windows XP and later versions have a simple firewall function as a
standard feature. This firewall function is called “ICF”, and lets users
limit communications between home networks or small-scale office
networks and the Internet. When this firewall is enabled, the firewall
must be set to allow communication of specific ports and programs in
order to perform communication between M-crew Server and this
unit. These settings are made at the “ICF SETTINGS” window.
However, note that making these settings may expose your computer
to illicit access.
Notes
• If the “ICF SETTINGS” window does not automatically appear even after the AUTO
LINK FOLDER Settings has completed, click [Start] – [All Programs] – [M-crew
Server] – [TOOLS] – [ICF Settings] in that order.
• When a check mark is placed in [Don’t allow exceptions] under [On (recommended)]
in the Windows Firewall settings, M-crew Server cannot be used even if the ICF
settings are made in the “ICF SETTINGS” window. To use M-crew Server, remove
the check mark from this checkbox.
