SL Firewall setting & Intego (Netbarrier) Firewalls

Kind of a silly question:
Should my Apple firewall be ON or OFF if I use Netbarrier?
Having just upgraded to SnowLeopard
I went to see what mine was set at, after reading an unrelated thread.
It was OFF. (But I am running Netbarrier over the top).
I turned it ON, and have not experienced any problems yet.
I am a little concerned that the OS loaded in the OFF state.

Should my Apple firewall be ON or OFF if I use Netbarrier?
OFF.

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.

Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

I have an iMac 20 inch early 2009 software osx 10.8.1(12b19)...i am not able to use my internet, outlook, or any messenger. tried troubleshooting, reseting safari, disabling firewall, deleted intego...still no internet

I have an iMac 20 inch early 2009 software osx 10.8.1(12b19)...i am not able to use my internet, outlook, or any messenger. tried troubleshooting, reseting safari, disabling norton firewall, deleted intego...still no internet. i did delete intego without uninstalling so im wondering if that caused the problem. everytime i try to open safari it displays this: Safari can't open the page: "http://www.yahoo.com/". the error is: "the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1)

Like nearly all antivirus utilities for OS X, Norton a/k/a Symantec and Intego are worthless junk that will cripple your Mac. Remants of one or both are most likely preventing Safari from communicating.
Search the forums for techniques to eradicate them - simply disabling them or dragging their apps to the Trash is not likely to be sufficient. Start by reading this procedure from Symantec:

For Intego: http://support2.intego.com/kb/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=214
... i did delete intego without uninstalling so im wondering if that caused the problem.
I believe you are correct. Download and run its uninstaller.

Which Firewall Setting

Which firewall setting should I use. I know theres three to choose from. Which do you recomend

HI WonderingAboutStuff,
There are collections by Mozilla that have recommended privacy addons, for example: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/mozilla/privacy/]
Lightbeam will give you an idea of what server connections are active to see any backdoor connections. In regards to snooping around, stealth mode sounds like it will remove all history and cookies.

Firewall Setting NoRouteToHostException while calling secured webservice

Hi All,
I tried calling a secured webservice from oracle database. While calling the webservice i am getting the NoRouteToHostException exception. The possible cause for this exception is
"Signals that an error occurred while attempting to connect a socket to a remote address and port. Typically, the remote host cannot be reached because of an intervening firewall, or if an intermediate router is down. "
I found the ipaddress is correct.
I would like to know the cause "intervening firewall". Will any port has to be enable in oracle database to call secured webservice from the Database or where to check in the database for firewall setting
Thanks,
Ramesh.R

The possible cause for this exception is "Signals that an error occurred while attempting to connect a socket to a remote address and port. Typically, the remote host cannot be reached because of an intervening firewall, or if an intermediate router is down. "Not an Oracle issue and not really relevant to this forum (or any other forum on OTN I think). This is a straightforward network issue dealing with routing tables it seems to me.
The error simply means that the application (PL/SQL in Oracle server when using UTL_HTTP) references an IP address that does not exist locally (different subnet/netmask) and that the IP packets need to be routed (via an "+intermediary+") in order to reach that IP address.
I would like to know the cause "intervening firewall". Will any port has to be enable in oracle database to call secured webservice from the Database or where to check in the database for firewall settingYou should look at the local routing table on the server. For example, your server is IP address +196.1.83.100+ and you need to reach IP address +165.147.45.30+.
The server's IP stack needs to know where to send traffic for +165.147.45.30+ to? Which interface on the server to use (there can be multiple)? What is the address of the router that will route the traffic to this IP?
Let's say we use the primary (first) interface and that the routing is done by +196.43.4.1+. The server's routing table on the should then look something as follows:
oracle@myserver ~> route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
165.147.45.30 196.43.4.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
.. remaining entries..The "+route add+" command is used to add such a route to the routing table.
I suggest however that you discuss this first with the o/s or network administrator to ensure that the routing table is not only correctly updated, but that the server is configured to create this route automatically at boot time.

Firewall setting for iTunes connections

When trying to access my iTunes library from the AppleTV 2, I have to go to the iMac firewall and "allow connections" for iTunes. No problem there, the connection is made and I can access the library fine. Problem is as follows, after a day I must go back to the firewall and "allow connections" again. I have had to do this since I have had the AppleTV 2 (since Jan of 2011) and it is getting old! How can I keep the firewall setting to "alllow connections" for iTunes?

I use an Apple TV (1) and MacBook Pro's so not sure if this will work the same, but you could try setting the Apple TV IP number manually (so it's static) and then allowing any connection from that IP number in your Firewall ...

What Security - Firewall setting do I use?

I'm curious about the Firewall setting in 10.5. It defaults to "Allow all incoming connections", which makes me nervous. Can someone explain these 3 settings in more details so I can decide which I need?
Does this setting bypass the firewall altogether or does it drop unsolicted connections?
Thanks!

"Allow all incoming connections" is essentially off.
Here is what Apple has to say about its new Application firewall.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1810
As for refusing unsoliticed requests, you will need to click on advanced and then select Enable Stealth mode to block such requests.
I choose the bottom selection, set Access for specific services...
10.5 still has the ipfw Firewall if you want to use that in conjunction with the Application Firewall.
A good GUI for that is WaterRoof.

How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"

How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?

While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.

FYI! Intego NetBarrier X5 and iTunes App Store Issues

I discovered last night (while attempting to download the iPhone 3.0 update) that my 3rd party firewall, Intego's NetBarrier X5, is preventing App Store application and iPhone software updates.
Back in early March, I upgraded NetBarrier from X4 to X5, importing my settings from the old version into the new. From that point on, I have been unable to update my iPhone applications from within iTunes; I was caught in an endless loop of being asked to log into the App Store, and being denied access (almost as if my credentials weren't making it to Apple's servers). The weird part was, I had no problem downloading music, movies, etc. from the iTunes Store; this issue only affected App Store downloads/updates.
I do not know if this is a problem with Intego or an Apple. I'm inclined to believe that something changed within iTunes 8; a change to the ports used to access the App Store, as opposed to the regular iTunes Store. I say this because, when I turned off NetBarrier completely, I was finally able to access/download my application updates after months of not being able to. As soon as I turned it back on, I got caught up in that endless login loop again. This is definately an issue.
I post this information in the hope that it will resolve similar issues for others. iTunes Support, when contacted numerous times, was completely useless.
It appears that I'm going to have to configure my firewall to allow ALL iTunes traffic to pass. Can someone please tell me where I can find a comprehensive list of ports that must be open for iTunes to function properly? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello Everyone,
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, and re-installing X5 (10.5.4), it looks like I may have identified the cause of this issue.
It appears that, within X5, if you select the "+Hide my Apple ID when using iTunes MiniStore+" option (Overview --> Privacy --> Data --> Surf), it jacks-up connections to iTunes Store App/iPhone OS Updates.
For now, I have de-selected this option, and everything seems to be functioning as it should.
I cannot believe that something as stupid as this has caused me (and countless others) so many months of aggravation. I will be reporting this as a defect to Intego later today.
Hope this information helps.
Kerry

Help! Firewall setting changed to default and can no longer connect

So I was attempting to open up port 8080 outbound and made a number of changes. The issue was still present so I clicked the reset to default for the firewall settings and am now stuck with a box I cannot connect to (Windows Server 2012).
Please can someone shed some light on a solution for me as I don't want to go through the pain of reinstalling everything again.
Thanks
Phil

Hi,
Are you not able to connect to Windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter (VM) ? If yes, I will move the forum thread to Virtual Machines queue for a broader support.
Could you share the Exact error message you get while trying to connect to VM ?

BT NetProtect Plus Firewall Setting Problem

I have just downloaded the new BT NetProtect Plus. In checking it out I find the Firewall settings for Attack Detection are all set to No. These settings can be edited to yes but McAfee recommends that the No settings are not changed. Having also installed NetProtect on my laptop, I also find the settings are set to No. On both computers the summary, with the big green tick, says my computers are secure and no action is required. How can they be if the aforementioned No settings remain at No? I tried McAfee for an answer but they wanted £28 for the privilege. To my mind it's a BT problem as it has got their name on the tin - as I pay a monthly subscription BT should provide an answer. BT India help did not know the reason for the No settings.

Instructions to Tech Svs Dept in setting up Adobe Premiere in school firewall setting?

Hi. I work in a public high school in a very large school system. While I have new computers w/8gb of ram and decent video and audio cards, our Adobe Premiere 9.0 software frequently stalls, freezes, won't open projects, etc. . . . The problems are not consistent from computer to computer. In fact, the software runs beautifully from my "stand alone" laptop (which I installed myself using your recommended install procedure and the original DVDs.) Which leads me to believe that our network firewalls are getting in the way of Adobe Premiere functioning properly.
We operate in a Windows XP 5.1 environment. (I know!) Our tech services folks take a copy of the original DVDs that we purchased (35 licenses), and load it onto a folder within an external flash drive that they've labeled as the image for my classroom. That is how they install the software - all the software - for the computers in my room. Never from original DVDs.
And, our Tech Svs staff told me that they read a service bulletin from Adobe that said if you have the Adobe CS4 or 5 web design suite installed on your computers, it will cause your Adobe Premiere Elements not to function properly!!! I'm having a hard time swallowing that one.
So, there is something between how they copied this software onto their flash drives, to the network firewalls, that is causing headaches with the functioning of this software on networked computer stations.
I have also seen other forums where this problem occurs in other educational settings.
Education provides a pretty big customer base for you. Have you developed a set of instructions specific to this environment for the installation of the software by the Tech staff? If you would like, I'd be glad to volunteer my school and situation as a place you can come to troubleshoot and develop these instructions.
My only current solution is to tell students to render and save frequently (like, after every single thing they do.) If their station misbehaves too terribly, we transfer the work to my laptop - and they do the work there. But I have only one laptop.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}We are on a network - but we do have access to save to the C drive. Students have a folder on the C drive where they save all project assets and work.
Being on a network is fine (especially since you don't have a choice ), but using network drives is not. As John mentioned, *everything* PRE is doing should be using local, physical drives (at least 7200 RPM). Preferably one drive for projects and media storage, and another for temp files (and, no, partitions do not count because they are the same physical drive).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}Are you saying that if they are multi-tasking, it could cause software burps?
I think a rule of thumb with editing is: the less running the better. But some processes seem to interfere much more with editing than others: virus scanning software and indexing are the biggest culprits I can think of. So if you have Word, for example, running at the same time that's fine, but if Norton is running or, God forbid doing a scan, that's more likely to cause issues.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}Should they transfer all assets from a flash drive (pictures, music, etc. . .) into the project directory - and make sure they are not using any other programs while they are editing? Would this work if we are still tied to the network?
I think the above should answer... let me know if not.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}We cannot boot the computers without accessing the network, because if we could be "independent" (of the security features of the network) then my students might turn into deviants and mess up the settings on the computer or release viruses or do a multitude of other evil things. So I've been told.
Well, I.T. has many reasons why they do things they do, but (as you might have suspected) your user experience is not Reason #1. But in any event, logging in and being on the network - in and of itself - shouldn't present any issues so no worries there.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}And, we just received 1 set of DVDs - but our license number is good for 35 stations - so using the same serial number should not be the issue (we do the same thing for our Web Design suite, and that has had no problems.)
Well, good, that should be one thing to cross off the list, then.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}I have complained to Tech Services and unfortunately, the problems never seem to replicate when they come in after school to do the work. They are the ones who told me they read the adobe service bulletin that states Web Design CS4 interferes with the operation of Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0. But, the students aren't working with the CS4 software when they are doing their video projects. So - that has been the extent of their research, as far as I can tell.
Yeah, isn't that always the way? Just like when I take my car to the mechanic and tell them it's making this weird noise, and of course they drive it and it's fine and they think I'm drunk or something. Unfortunately, software is even harder to diagnose, and if the problem can't be replicated it can be pretty hard to fix.
Is the tech bulletin saying that CS4 and PRE9 need to running together to cause problems, or can the mere fact that CS4 is *installed* cause PRE9 problems? Either way, it the "tech bulletin" theory held water, you would think it'd be fairly easy to replicate. Also, if that was the issue, why does it run fine after school?
Can you get tech services to come in during one of the classes and see the problems first-hand? If nothing else, maybe they might be able to appreciate how frustrating the problems are and take a more proactive approach.
ETA: I don't know what that "function(){return A....." code stuff is, but it's not me typing that in

Playing to DMP100 in Windows 7 - firewall setting issue?

Hi,
I set up my DMP100 today and installed the Cisco media client and media server on my Windows 7 box - I can play to the DMP 100 just fine using that approach. But I really want to use my Windows Media Player instead and use the "Play To" feature. However when I try to do that I get an error that the media server cannot be contacted. I messed around a long time and finally figured out that turning off my Windows Firewall makes this issue go away - the "Play To" in Windows Media Player works. However I don't want to leave my firewall turned off and I can't find anything that tells me what program/port/protocol I need to create a new firewall rule for so I can turn it back on. Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do hear? It looks like the DMP is trying to call the Windows Media Server and failing to punch through the firewall. At least that's my best guess.
Thanks,
Alex
