NComputing PC Expanion L120 - Manual (Page 95)

A-6
Why does the warning message below appear when I install
NCT-2000-XP?
Windows XP Service Pack 2 provides reinforced firewall that displays a
security warning message when a new port is used. The message also
appears when you install another program such as Messenger. If you
select <Continue Cut Off> in the message box, you will not be able to
find NComputing servers even if you run the setup program again
because the port is blocked. If you select <Allow>, the port will open
unless you block it manually. If you select <Check Later>, although the
port is opened for now, the security warning message will appear
again when the port is accessed next.
Why does a message appear asking me to stop or delete a firewall
or anti-virus program when I install NCT-2000-XP?
PC Expanion communicates with a host computer using WoIP based
on TCP/IP over an Ethernet connection. Therefore a firewall or anti-
virus program may block the operation of the program mistaking PC
Expanion for a virus. Therefore, you have to open the ports in the
corresponding program or stop the program to use PC Expanion. For
the latest firewall and anti-virus program compatibility information,
please visit our web site.
Why does the Add users screen appear when I install CT-2000-XP?
PC Expanion emulates the operating system. Therefore, you have
to add users in order to allow them to use their own files. For the
procedures to add users, refer to Part 8 in the manual.
Can I set a user account type as ‘Computer administrator’ or
‘Limited’ only in Windows XP?
No. Although Windows XP basically shows ‘Computer
administrator’ and ‘Limited’, Windows XP provides the
account types supported by Windows 2000. To set an account
type different than the basic types, as can be done in Windows
2000, refer to ‘Adding a User Account’ in Part 8 in the manual.
Do I have to register the serial number?
Yes, you have to register the serial number. Otherwise, you
cannot upgrade the program or use A/S.
I have formatted the hard disk drive after registering the
serial number. Can I register the serial number again?
Yes, you can. You can register a serial number after formatting or
replacing the hard disk drive. However, re-registration is limited to
10 times.
Can I connect a PC Expanion directly to a host PC?
Yes, please refer to “5. How to connect the PC Expanion to the
host PC directly” in Part 8 in the manual.
