Windows 7 firewall blocking airplay after allowing

Hi guys and gals,
Windows 7 firewall is blocking airplay from my PC (iTunes) to my Apple TV and also stopping me using my iPhone (remote) to control iTunes.
If I turn the firewall off all is well with the world but once I reinstate it everything stops working again.
I've set up incoming and outgoing rules for iTunes and ports TCP 3689 and UDP 5353 as per guides on these forums, i've also selected iTunes in the 'allow a program...' list.
Everything is running the latest version, I've reset and updated Apple TV and re installed iTunes.
Help me please as its driving me mad!

Hmm, not sure I completely understand now. What exactly simultaneously should mean in this context? The thing is that it seems there's no chance in getting the connection to work when I first turn on the client on my Windows computer. The other way (starting on my Linux computer) it works just fine, and I am able to connect from my Windows to my Linux anytime.
Also I'm not sure that this is the problem, cause it seems that same problem apply to connection to other computers as well (however this impression is based on a testing with just a very few tries, so I'll try to test it more soon).
Thanks for the explaining anyway!

Windows Firewall blocking connections to devices

Hi
I hope this is the right place. I am having a few problems with the Windows 7 firewall when connecting to embedded devices.
I currently have a Windows application that connects to 4 embedded devices via TCP but Windows firewall only seems to allow a connection with 2 of the devices even with exceptions setup on the firewall.
The devices are connected to their own ethernet adapter in the PC '192.168.1.32'. Each device has it's own IP Address but uses the same port.
The network comes up as a 'public' network and with the firewall for the public profile enabled only connections to the first 2 devices are established.
If I turn the firewall off for the public profile connections are made to all devices.
Also if I give each controller a different port number connection is again made to all devices.
I was hoping that someone could tell me if this is expected firewall behaviour or at least be able to give me a clue as to why the firewall affects the connections.
I know I can get round the problem but I wanted to at least understand why this is happening.

You can check existing rules using this command (using
admin command prompt)..
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all
and try to understand what is blocking your ports and try to create exceptions accordingly....
Expected firewall behaviour is to open necessary ports for a software by making exceptions in the firewall rules by that software while installing.. For some reason if it fails you may have to manually create exceptions.. rules etc..

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.

Cannot connect to the iTunes store. Get 'Error 11222'. Claims it is being blocked by Windows Firewall when it is allowed through.

When an external application tries to connect to it through iTunes I get 'Error: 11222'. When I try to connect through the iTunes app it just continuously loads but nothing appears. Diagnostics says that Windows Firewall (Which is being managed by McAfee) is blocking it, even though it is allowed through both firewalls I have. Even when I turn WF off iTunes claims it is being blocked by it. I have done almost everything Apple's support pages have suggested but nothing has worked. I'm using it on an Acer Aspire laptop, and the main PC can use iTunes without trouble so it isn't the ISP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice. Here is a full diagnostics:

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.

Go to Control Panel >Firewall>Advanced Settings. Then click

Windows Firewall blocking connections (randomly)

Hello everybody
I'm experiencing a very strange issue with Windows 8.1 x64 (this is a clean install of Windows 8.1)...
Sometimes, my computer suddenly claims to be unable to connect to any external host. For example, I try to visit any website. Funny though I can connect to websites like Google and visit other websites as well, but for example I'm unable to download a file
anywhere (sorry I don't remember the error message).
Another example: Sometimes I try to play a game where you have to start a "patcher" first, then the patcher starts the actual game. I'm able to start the patcher, the patcher downloads the necessary files, then as soon as I start the game itself,
I'm unable to connect to the login server. Really strange.
What I really don't understand: As soon as I restart my computer and retry whatever wasn't working, everything seems to work fine for an unknown time. A reboot fixes the issue I had, but the possibility that another application
If I disable the Windows Firewall COMPLETELY (using wf.msc and turn off every firewall profile) and restart my computer afterwards, I don't experience any of the issues described above. I've been using my computer for more than 3 days with a disabled Windows
Firewall and I never had any networking issue. Then I re-enabled the Windows Firewall, and the issues began to appear again.
I've installed the most recent Windows updates as of today. The device drivers are up-to-date as well and the BIOS too. It's really frustrating as I seriously don't want to disable the firewall..
I used to work with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64 and I could swear I never had any issue with the Windows Firewall. It all started with Windows 8.1 now... Any ideas what could be wrong here?
Kind regards
Makorus

Hi,
For the issue, I would like to know if you create some rules for Windows Firewall.
Meanwhile, I suggest we perform the following steps to restore default setting,
1.Open Control Panel, and then click Windows Firewall.
2.In the left pane, click Restore defaults. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3.In the dialog box that appears, click Restore defaults. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.
If the issue persists, I suggest you check the follow path to see if there are any errors in the Firewall.
Control Panel>>Windows Firewall>>Windows Firewall with Advanced Security>>Monitoring>>Firewall
Keep post.

Operations Manager - Site Role - Notification Server Windows Firewall Block Monitor

I'm getting this alert popping up in Opsman and was wondering what rule was triggering it. It seems as though the monitor lists rule:
<RuleId>D07ACE61-FB84-4461-9F52-ABBA07C2EE3A</RuleId>
but when I ask powershell:
PS C:\> Get-SCOMRule -Id "D07ACE61-FB84-4461-9F52-ABBA07C2EE3A"
PS C:\>
I get no love.
At any rater I'm wondering if perhaps I'm getting this rule because the firewall is disabled? Currently (working on changing this) windows servers run with firewalls off. We have a large firewall managed by the security group who we submit rules to so traffic
can pass.
I think this is checking for a port but i'm not sure. I read the following article and it mentions make sure that port 10123 is open. When I check the rules I see that we have a rule that allows TCP 10123, and also that we have clients making connections
to the site server over that port.
So, is it merely because the firewall is disabled?

AVG Firewall blocking AirPlay.

Hey
My AVG Firewall is blocking iTunes from sending out AirPlay. And when I want to use it I have to stop my Firewall which I don't really want to do.
I have iTunes, and Bonjour in the firewall exceptions, but still blocks.

I finally figured out how to solve this problem. Air play uses port 5353 for AirPlay which is normally blocked by AVG firewall. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21543
I unblocked port 5353 in AVG (v10) using this method
1. Open AVG
2. Go to Firewall settings
3. Click on "Tools/Firewall Settings"
4. Go the the Profile you want (Small Home or Office Network, ect.)
5. Click "System Services"
6. Under "User defined system rules" Click "Manage user system rules"
7. Click add
8. Make sure you have the settings the same as the following
protocol - UDP
direction - Both ways
local port - User selected port (enter 5353 as the defined port)
remote ports - Same as local port
remote address - local network
9. Name the Rule
10.Click OK, (You should see the rule listed now) then OK again
11. Click Apply and restart iTunes
Hope this solves your problem

Audition and windows firewall

I've scrapped the security I've been using on my machine in favor of Microsoft Security Essentials. I've also enabled Windows Firewall to see how it works. (I've got a router, so I haven't been using a firewall, but I wanted to see what effect it might have.) Okay, so I tried loading a third-party plugin into a CS6 session, and I get a Windows Security Alert telling me 'Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program', and it describes Audition, not the third-party plugin, as the reason.
Okay, why would it do that?
It gives me this option if I want it: 'Allow Adobe Audition CS6 to communicate on these networks:
* Private networks, such as my home or work network.
* Public networks...'
Okay, communicate? What does Audition communicate with when I'm online? Is it just the online Help? And why would Windows Firewall block that?

Audition is simply communicating with a separate headless app that comes with Audition that does the plug-in scanning. Because there's a lot of bad plug-ins out there that can crash an application simply by scanning them, we created the separate app that does all of our plug-in scanning in the background. They have to be separate to keep Audition from crashing on bad plug-ins during scan. So the network activity that the firewall is complaining about is simply Audition talking to the dvaaudiofilterscan application in the background that is on a localhost port (i.e. same machine, not talking to anything outside your computer).
The same goes for the dynamiclinkmediaserver (aka DLMS) which loads certain files in a separate application because it uses importer code from Premiere Pro (the most recent versions of Photoshop and Lightroom also use DLMS).
Lastly, you may sometimes see a firewall message if you have EUCON control surface devices because they talk to the computer via ethernet. So if you choose the EUCON control surface plug-in, that can spawn firewall messages as well.

Moving CMS from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 - WIndows Firewall??

We currently have the Windows Firewall disabled on all 3 of our Lync 2013 FE servers. We just don't use it and it gets in the way of some other applications. I remember when I was installing Lync on these servers, I had to enable the Windows Firewall or
setup would fail. Now that Lync has been running for a while, I have the Firewall disabled again.
Now, I am moving the CMS from Lync 2010 to 2013 and I am wondering if I should again enable the Firewall? I am concerned that the commands I need to run to prepare the 2013 FE server and the Move-CsManagement-Server command itself will fail if Windows Firewall
is disabled.
Does anyone know?

Hi,
As I know, if you want to disable Windows firewall for getting in the way of some other applications you can
just turn off all three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles or disable the Windows firewall service.
If you just turn off all three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles, it means that during the install, Lync Server will add all the firewall rules to the Windows Firewall, so if after you turn on all three profiles all you need to do is turn the Windows Firewall
back on from the inside the Control Panel.
If you disable the Windows firewall service it means that the Windows Firewall snap-in won't even load. So during the install Lync Server won't be able to create the firewall rules. So after Lync installation you can enable the Windows Firewall service is
to run Step 2 from Lync Server Deployment Wizard.
More details:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/05/25/how-to-update-windows-firewall-rules-for-lync-server-2010-after-installation.aspx
So if you just turn off three (Domain, Private, Public) profiles, you should be OK to move CMS from 2010 to 2013.

Windows Firewall has blocked Adobe Muse

I open Adobe Muse for the first time and I'm trying to use it, after going thru some updates and questions I get Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program. Does Adobe Muse need to have an Internet or network connection for anything at all before I publish? the Publisher is Unknown according to the alert I get from Windows. Do I need to check the box for Private networks or Public networks, I couldn't find anything related to it on Adobe Help and when I searched for Firewall on Adobe Muse Help I get results for other applications instead that I don't use like Flash Media Encoder.

Yes, you would need to tick both the checkboxes and click Allow Access after that.
Thanks,
