A mini tutorial of how to open ports for Windows Media Connect
First you must go at the “Network Monitor” panel.
There you should click with the right button of the mouse and choose “Add rule”->“add”
at the new window that appear you should put the following 2 rules:
- Rule for TCP protocol
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = your IP adress (you can also use “Any”, if you are using a modem and not a router; by this you won’t have to change the IP address every time you connect in internet )
Source port = Any
Remote port = “A set of ports” = 2869,10243
- Rule for UDP protocol
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Remote IP = your IP adress (or “Any” )
Source port = Any
Remote port = “A set of ports” = 1900,10280,10281,10282,10283,10284
ps. After creating the rules remember to move the rules up, over the default rule “Block IP in”.
