Tips
• 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 system. These settings are made
at the “ICF SETTINGS” window. However, note that making these settings may
expose your computer to illicit access.
• When a check mark is placed in the “Don’t allow exceptions” checkbox under
“On (recommended)” in the Windows Firewall settings, M-crew Server cannot
be used even if the ICF settings are made at the “ICF SETTINGS” window. To
use M-crew Server, remove the check mark from this checkbox.
• 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
– McWLANSearch.exe
– MCMachineRegist.exe
