Firewall Interaction with Internet Radio Handler
A security alert window may appear the first time the Internet Radio Handler is used.
This occurs if the computer's operating system or other security software employs a pro-
gram blocker in its firewall. For Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 1, there should
be no issues using the Internet Radio Forwarding Agent. For Windows XP Service Pack
(SP) 2, the following procedure can be used. For other software firewalls, refer to the
program's help files for specific information.
Using the Media Forwarding Agent for the first time with SP2 will result in a Windows
Security Alert window asking if you want Windows Firewall to keep blocking this program.
Select Unblock to add the program to the firewall Exception list. This allows the
Forwarding Agent to communicate with the SMS3. A restart of the computer may be
needed for these changes to take effect.
If you do not unblock the Forwarding Agent then it cannot talk to the SMS3 and you will
get an error message telling you the Media Server could not be found, followed by another
error message saying there was an error sending the file to the Media Server.
