How to: check for firewall blocking?Is there a way to check to see if a firewall is going to block my apps
communication? .NET 2.0 I've seen some more recent Microsoft games that were able to test for blocking and then prompt the user if they would like to add the application to the "unblock list". This functionality is what I'm looking for, any suggestions? This is for Windows Form App. Thanks, Rob. There is a C API and IIRC a WMI interface...
in the SDK the start page can be found here: ms-help://MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.WinSDK.1033/ics/ics/windows_firewall_start_page.htm --------------------------------------- Dominick Baier - DevelopMentor http://www.leastprivilege.com Show quoteHide quote > Is there a way to check to see if a firewall is going to block my apps > communication? .NET 2.0 > > I've seen some more recent Microsoft games that were able to test for > blocking and then prompt the user if they would like to add the > application to the "unblock list".
