It was working just fine until he got a really nasty virus, and the server was down for a few days, which in the meantime he got Mcafee AntiVirus Plus.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Mcafee blocks all incoming connections it seems, regardless of whether the server&#8217;s port (25565) or the Java module from which it runs (javaw.exe) is allowed full access. He did a test yesterday by putting the firewall down for 5 minutes and opening the server; It worked fine from my computer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen some posts saying that Mcafee is an &#8220;unselective&#8221; firewall, I guess it just seems to overblock. If my friend has to uninstall Mcafee to get it to work, He&#8217;ll probably do it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How do I get this through? It&#8217;s obviously a VERY bad idea to do this without any firewall, but I&#8217;ve tried everything in my somewhat-limited playbook to get this through without disabling the firewall completely.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: gray; font-size: small;\">~oldie<br \/>\nNot everyone can decipher Klingon script&#8230;<br \/>\nchay&#8217; ta&#8217; SoH tlhe&#8217; vam Doch Daq<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><i>message edited by OLDISGOOD<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":14},"question-category":[56],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6686","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-security"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6686"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
