Firewall blocking from sharing

how to keep my firewall from blocking my photoshop elements 9 from uploading and sharing throuhg facebook. i have been using it for 3 years and saturday it stopped and said that the firewall is on but i have turned it off and called dell support and they couldnt fix it they said it has to do with adobe

Firewall blocks internet sharing

Hi all,
I know this has been covered before but I've never seen a solution that works for me. Maybe someone has time to talk me through it.
All I need to do is configure the OS X firewall so that internet sharing via ethernet isn't blocked by the firewall. Can I do this via the terminal? Which ports do I need to open? I need this to work so I can distribute builds across Xcode installations but I think internet sharing is all that is required for it to work.
Thanks,
Stephen

In the Sharing pane of System Preferences, click the Advanced button under the Firewall tab, enable firewall logging, and then try using those services on the other computer. When done, check the firewall log and look for the number after the : in the logged entries; this is a port number. Knowing the IP address of the other machine will help determine which entries were produced by it as opposed to ones which came from the Internet; this is visible in the Network pane of System Preferences.

Firewall blocks afp even though enabled!?

This relates to a G5 running 10.4.11 and a mac pro running 10.5.5
We are having a nightmare with file sharing between two machines. We can connect fine from the mac pro to the g5 via a ethernet router. We can't however connect from the g5 -we can however connect to the internet and pinging the mac pro works. We have tried connecting with the bonjour adress and the ip addres - no results. The personal file sharing tabs in system preferences on both machines are ticked. The firewall is set to allow essential services, and below are listed printer sharing, file sharing etc. However i opened the log and saw that a few afp connections had just been denied - turn the firewall off and we can connect to the macpro. Surely we should be able to connect on a local area network without the firewall blocking it? It also denies cupsd (we have a printer networked to the g5) but also less frequently nmbd, which seems weird as to my limited knowledge this is to do with windows file sharing - and we do not have a windows machine on the network.
Weirdly I enabled the firewalls on both machines fairly recently after noticing they were off - however my client (i am a retoucher) has confirmed that filesharing was always like this - even when firewall off which I seem to recollect as correct. In theory if we have a router with firewall enabled do we need the firewall on on the macs?
Please help I have reached the limit of my knowledge on this one! Many thanks

On the MacPro > System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing, is the list of shared folders what you expect and for each shared folder, are the authorized users and permissions set up as you would expect? Clicking on the options button underneath that panel, is AFP checked, and if desired or necessary, SMB and/or FTP?
In theory, I would say yes, if you have full faith in the personal integrity of all the local users on the LAN, and you believe them to be cautious enough that they won't have inadvertently downloaded and installed some sort of malware onto their machines, and you believe that your LAN is adequately secured (e.g., using WPA2 for the WLAN), then it is true, you should only need to maintain the firewall at the internet-facing router.

Firewall blocking access to Hyper-V Virtual Machine. Please hep!

Hi there, I hope this is the right spot for this. Allow me to explain the setup we have. We have a server with Hyper-V installed and a VC made for a DC for a small domain we have. I was able to remote into the new DC, and our exchange server
was picking it up as a DC. So far so good.....
Now, here's where we seem to have a problem. We Installed 'Symantec Endpoint Protection' As we have this on a few servers, we had a set of settings for servers. (I didn't set this part up) Now. the problem we are having is that it seems the end point protection
on the Hyper-C Host is blocking connections from Exchange/other computers (access shared folders and logging in). What can i do to resolve this? Connections seem to be fine, (Exchange will pick up the the DC, and i can access shared
folders) when i disable the firewall and network threat protection on the Hyper-V Host.
Our Exchange server is 2010
We are using Server 08 R2
Can someone please advise me on how i can get this resolved, so i don't have to leave the server with Hyper not behind a firewall or network threat protection.

Hi,
I am Chetan Savade from Symantec Technical Support Team.
There was a known issue between SEP and Hyper-V traffic. It's been resolved in the latest release of SEP. If not using the latest version upgrade to the latest version can be a possible solution.
SEP 12.1 RU4 MP1a (12.1.4104.4130) is the latest verison.
HyperV traffic was blocked with Symantec Endpoint Protection Firewall enabled
Fix ID: 3181006
Symptom: The Symantec Endpoint Protection firewall blocks HyperV traffic.
Solution: Modified the loopback packet processing in the Teefer driver.

10.6 Server's Firewall Blocks It's Own Internet Connection

I had this problem about two years ago when I was trying to run 10.6 on my home server (Mac mini) for the first time. Eventually I gave up, reverted the mini back to 10.5, and ram problem-free for years. When 10.7 came out, I tried to upgrade the mini to that. That didn't go well either, but mostly due to Lion missing many many features (suprise!). So I figured that 10.6's problems were fixed by now, and gave it another shot. It went fine and I've been running for about a month problem free (or so I thought). But now it's offline again. I finally found one other person on another forum that had the EXACT same problem as me. And reading this description, I realize that I have been having problems all long, I just assumed they were my ISP's problems, not my own.
So here's what happens. The firewall in 10.6 server will "freak out". It will be running normally, then suddenly it will go haywire and block everything. And I mean everything. My computer won't even be able to get an IP via DHCP. Everything is blocked. But as soon as you stop the firewall, everything works normally. You can even modify the firewall rules, and set it up so there are NO deny rules, and EVERY connection to and from every host is set to allow. And the firewall still blocks everything. This is the same exact thing that happened 2 years ago when I first tried to run 10.6 Server on my mini. The difference is that back then, this would happen either immediatly, or within a day. This time around, with 10.6.8, it took about a month before suddenly, without any provocation, all internet connections stopped.
I've had this happen on multiple computers. I don't do anything special, I just set up a basic firewall scheme where everything in the LAN range is allowed, and everything from "any" is allowed only to service ports I'm running. The basic gateway setup. Now I was running 10.6 Server on my laptop (for netbooting) and it would do the same thing. But because my laptop wasn't acting as a gateway, I could just turn the firewall off (you need the firewall for NAT). My mini server IS acting as a gateway, as was another mini I set up for a client of mine (that eventualy I changed over so they were running off an airport, and the mini server was just a client. But I don't want that setup at home, I want my mini to be the router).
I have verizon Fios internet. 25/25, it's great. The ONT is in my basement, and it's plugged into the same fused outlet as our freezer. From time to time, when the power goes out, it trips that breaker and the outlet goes dead. My itnernet is gone and I have to go reset the outlet. Once I do, my mini won't get an IP from Verizon until I reboot the mini. Not once. Not twice. Usually 5-10 reboots, and suddenly it will get an IP. I always assumed this was a verizon problem. Until I read someone else's post about this same problem. Turns out, that's the firewall blocking DHCP again! If you turn the firewall off, you don't have to keep rebooting, it will grab an IP right away.
At least I'm not crazy! So what is going on here? Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my firewall, or how I can fix it?
Lastly, after 4.5 hours of complete inability to get an internet connection with the firewall on, it just started working again. I now have fully functional, normal internet. I find it hard to believe 10.6 has a firewall that is simply broken. I find it even harder to believe I'm imagining things, or that I've had fluke after fluke. Something is going on with 10.6 Server.

The DNS skapegoat just doesn't make sense.
Why would "improper" DNS cause OS X's firewall to block all network connections? Even the server's ability to make it's own DHCP connection?
As far as a router, I don't want to use a cheap unreliable residential router. I have a home file server that, aside from running 10.6, makes a super reliable router. And port mapping aside, OS X Server's DHCP server is great to use. Rock solid. It makes no sense to run a cheap residential router when I have a home server. Then every 6-18 months, I get to deal with that router slowly failing, as my internet connection gets slower and slower. No thanks.
So back to this firewall issue. I've talked to Apple aobut this before, and they give the same generic "DNS has to be right" answer to basically every problem I've ever had with 10.6 Server (hinting at endless CalDAV problems). But no one has every explained what that specifically means, or how something like wrong DNS (whatever that even means) can cause the firewall to block everything. This just makes no sense to me. And this especially does not explain why, after 10 reboots or so, everything just magically starts running normally.
I just had an incedent today where I woke up to no internet. I rebooted 3 times. Each time, I either got a self-assigned IP address, or the ethernet interface would toggled between "unplugged" and "no-ip". I could turn the firewall off and the server would INSTANTLY start functioning normally. I'd happily run without a firewall, and just turn all services I'm not using off. However NAT needs the firewall, so without the firewall, the Server is the only Mac on the network that has an internet connection. So I kept rebooting and rebooting, and I think about 8 reboots later, like magic, the server came up, grabbed an IP, and everything started working normally.
Also my IP through my ISP is dynamic, and that isn't going to change. So yes, I am trying to use OS X Server as my router on a dynamic internet connection. I've been doing this since the days of Mac OS X Server 10.1. Only 10.6 has had any problems at all.
So really, "10.6 is more picky about DNS" isn't an answer to this problem. Or, at least, it's not a sufficient answer. I need much more information than that.

Blocked from downloading

I'd like to request a reset of download attempts regarding my recent purchase of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (Order Number: 9865592759). Reason being my company firewall settings earlier prevented me from downloading the 7z files which led me to make multiple futile attempts. I was then able to initiate download of the 7z files using my home Internet but I have been blocked from doing so due to >10 attempts. I then contacted Digital River (Nora, Email ID: 29692103) who replied me to contact Adobe instead. Hope I can get your customer support soon, as I have not managed to fully download the software even once after purchasing it on 20 Apr 2015.

You can download CS6 trial from here. Once installed you can use your serial nr.

Snow Leopard Server dhcp assigns IP to clients, but sometimes that IP is blocked from reaching network

I have a problem that is driving me batty.
I have a Mac Mini Server acting as a gateway to the Internet. The cable modem is connected to the built in Ethernet, and the local net is configured with a USB Ethernet. I am running DHCP on the local network, and all of the clients get IP's from the server with no problem. Sometimes an random IP appears to get blocked from accessing the network (can get the file servers on the local net, and cannot reach the Internet.) We can manually assign a different IP, and it might start working, but it might not. We just keep picking until we find one that works. Rebooting the server will fix the problem as well.
I see no indication of a problem in any of the logs on the server.
This setup has worked with no problem in the past, but I must have done something to the configuration as some point.
Any help will be appreciated!
Mark.

The proper way to set up your system is to set up the server's DNS as your primary DNS, entering into it all of your local devices and support, and use your ISP's DNS as forwarding DNS's. For help in doing this follow Mr. Hoffman's instructions.
Use your ISP's modem in bridge mode to provide you with a static IP. Use the server's DHCP system to provide all internal addresses, otherwise you won't have dynamically updated DNS information at the server level.
User your airport extreme as an AP. Set it up to use an internal static address as it's WAN address and shut down it's DHCP server allowing anything connected to it to receive it's IP address from the server. If you can't do that, then set up the Airport to provide DHCP with a reduced subset of addresses for only wireless devices. Let the server's DHCP provide all wire-based equipment addresses.
Turn off the wireless on the mac mini server and run wired from your ISP's modem. Before you do, however, you need to enter a static address into the TCP/IP section, including mask and gateway. This will avoid VPN and other service issues caused by having it turned on and receiving a DHCP address (at server can not, by nature, be a DHCP device).
To do remote desktop from the internet, you would connect through the WAN address provided to the server by your ISP, but you will need to open the firewall ports on the server. If you have the money, and want to most protection, you should invest in a firewall box like a SonicWall and insert this between your modem and the rest of your system. The SonicWall will provide faster, tighter attack protection and allows you to tie external service access down as tight as you want.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you access the shared files? Please open the Shared Folders snap-in in mmc, and then find the Open Files in the Shared Folders to check if there is any session opens the shared files.
Shared Folders includes the Open Files that shows the files on the system that are currently open and shows you which users have the files or folders open.

How to discard blocks from memory ?

Hi,
How to discard blocks from memory ?
Thank you.

To add to what has already been posted. The full Oracle version should be included on all posts since many features and most bugs are version dependend.
Oracle will flush dirty blocks from the buffer cache and overlay unchanged blocks as needed to fit new requests to the buffer cache. It also reuses space in the shared pool so the question of which blocks you want to flush from memory and why can be important to getting the most appropriate answer to your questions.
On a production instance it should be unnecessary to manually flush either the buffer cache or shared pool as a normal part of opertations.

OS X firewall blocks iTMS

I've spent about two hours trying to figure out why OS X personal firewall blocks the Music Store, with no luck. Unless the firewall is turned off, the other computers (all Macs) on the network cannot log in. The sympton is the "Accessing the store" and eventually timing out.
There are a lot of Windows-specific posts about firewall problems, but none that I could find about the Mac firewall.

I have an additional Ethernet card in my Mac, and share the Internet access via that card. The built in port is connected to a cable modem.
The Ethernet out (from the second card) goes to a sixteen port GigE switch, which lights up various ports around the house.
I don't use any wireless in the house.

Firewall blocking video chat connection

I tried to video chat with my wife today from work on my PlayBook. Got a message about a firewall blocking it when it tried to connect us. It gave no further info so it's kind of hard for me to figure out whether this is my work wifi or my own router at home causing this.
Where can I find more info on this?

Firewall blocks DHCP after Logic Board Change

I had my computer in repair and they changed the logic board. Since then "Set access to specific services" setting misbehaves and blocks DHCP configuration.
After the repair it asked me to allow incoming connections for configd. I denied because I did not know it.
Problem: configd is not listed in Preferences so it cannot be unblocked!!!
How can I completely reset the rules table and start over?
Firewall[41]: Deny configd data in from 10.37.129.1:67 uid = 0 proto=17
Firewall[41]: Deny mDNSResponder data in from 169.254.203.40:5353 uid = 0 proto=17

I give up. This is a horrible issue. Now, the Firewall blocks internet access to configd and mDNSResponder after wakeup from suspend despite being on the "Allow all incoming" list of the System Preferences panel.
The firewall has become useless.

Firewall blocks Airplay (even under 'allow all traffic')

Hi every body,
I am somewhat at the end of my knowledge. I have a mac mini server running Lion 10.7.2 server. Interestingly, my the server's firewall blocks
a) all airplay traffic and
b) 'reading Airport confirguration' requests
even when the firewall is set to 'allow all traffic'. However, when I completely switch it off, everything works just fine.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Nonresidentalien
P.S. I have also tried to open ports 80 (t), 443(t), 554 (t/u), 3689(t), 5297(t), 5289(t/u), 5353(u), 49159(u) and 49163(u) with no success

Pointing to the IPv6 thread was a good idea. After reading it, I found out that the firewall preferences in Server Admin only show you IPv4 related firewall rules.
There is a terminal command that allows you to play with IPv6 rules. And by doing so, I was actually able to get AirPlay working again.
First, you want to show you the current IPv6 firewall rules. In my case they looked like this (10.7.2):
reptilehouse:~ sascha$ sudo ip6fw show
01000        285      96163 allow ipv6 from any to any via lo0
01100         66       5750 allow ipv6 from any to ff02::/16
65000          0          0 deny ipv6 from any to any
65535          6        306 allow ipv6 from any to any
As you can see, rule number 01100 only allows traffic to the local subnet, while the next rule (65000) blocks anything else. So you want to get rid of 65000:
reptilehouse:~ sascha$ sudo ip6fw delete 65000
To confirm, show the rule table again and you should see 65000 is gone:
reptilehouse:~ sascha$ sudo ip6fw show
01000        285      96163 allow ipv6 from any to any via lo0
01100         66       5750 allow ipv6 from any to ff02::/16
65535          6        306 allow ipv6 from any to any
Mind you, the rule numbers could be different on your system and you could see more or less rules. But you get the idea.
What I don't know if whether this is sticky, e.g. survives a reboot.
