How to set up Windows built-in firewall?

    •The XP SP3, Vista and 7 firewall is really simple to configure for DC++. Launch DC++ and you will be prompted with the following:

    Click on Unblock

    •That's it! DC++ should now work with the firewall.


    •If you did not see the popup box shown above, check the firewall settings. In Windows XP Service Pack 2 & 3 or Windows Vista: go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions Tab. For Windows 7: go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall


    The firewall should be On


    If DC++ is not in the list of programs, click on Add Program. Find where dcplusplus.exe resides on your computer (typically c:\program files\dc++\). Click on OK.





got feedback?
Hi I didn't get any block/unblock popup menu. I did select DC++ as an exception but it still won't connect. What do I do?
