Microsoft firewall configuration

By default, the Genero Desktop Client application is blocked from communicating through the Windows® firewall.

From the network point of view, GDC is a server: it listens on a defined port (6400 by default) for Runtime System connections.

When GDC starts, the firewall detects that it listens on port 6400 and warns the user: Press Unblock to allow the GDC to run correctly.

Important: Pressing Keep Blocking or Ask Me Later will keep GDC from working. Connections from the Runtime System will be blocked by the firewall.

If Keep Blocking has been pressed by mistake, it can be changed in the Windows Firewall settings.
