Host Installation

 Optionally, set the Accounts: Guest account status policy to disabled to prevent

problems with guest authentication to the Host computer.

NOTE: Depending upon which version of Windows you are using, and your Windows UI

settings, the procedure above may vary. Items may be named differently and navigating

to them may be slightly different as well. Note that in XP Home Edition, these security

settings cannot be set and you must use simple password authentication. On Vista

Home, the setting must be set to Classic. If the machine is joined to a domain, it should

automatically be set to this.

Configure Windows Firewall exceptions

At installation time, the Host installer and Gateway installer create program-based

exceptions in the Windows Firewall. The exceptions are named “the Host” and “the

Gateway”, and allow network traffic to the Host service and Gateway service programs,

respectively, over their standard default ports.

If you do not want the exceptions (e.g. because the Host is set for reverse connections

only, and should not be “exposed”), disable the exceptions by unchecking the box in the

configuration dialog for Windows Firewall itself. It is not recommended that the

exceptions be deleted, because they will be recreated and enabled automatically if you

upgrade to a later version of the.

The exceptions are removed automatically when the products (Host, Gateway) are

uninstalled.

Configure network settings for IPX

All the components can be installed on one computer, as long as the individual system

requirements for each component are met. If you install the Host and the Gateway on the

same computer, they may both use the IPX protocol. However, the two products cannot

share the same IPX socket. Consequently, if you install the Host and the Gateway on a

computer that uses IPX, then you must either disable the IPX protocol for one of the

applications, or assign a different IPX port to each application.

For information on how to enable or disable IPX for the Host computer (or for assigning

ports), see "Protocols tab". For instructions on how to enable or disable the protocol for

the Gateway, see the Gateway Administrator Guide.
