Hi all,

A girlfriend of mine has a good working McAfee anti-virus (4.5.1) software
running. Since a week she also installed the Preventon Firewall and from
that moment on, the AutoUpdate of McAfee fails.

It seems to me that te ftp-port is closed by Preventon. Who knows if this is
part of the standard installation? Is this the exact problem or could there
be another explanation?

Thanks in Advance! Gerrit.

(Dutch: Sinds de installatie van deze door Planet verkochte Preventon
Firewall kan de antivirus-software van McAfee niet meer updaten. Het lijkt
mij dat de ftp-poort afgesloten staat.

Wie weet of dit standaard zo staat ingesteld in de firewall? Is dit het
probleem of kan er nog iets anders aan de hand zijn?

TIA!!! Gerrit.)
