Why not put your PC into the DMZ entry and then take it back out after the update?
Hi All, brand new user and first post. I am trying to activate a software addon for flight simulator x, but when I put in the product key, it tells me that it cannot connect to the activation server. I sent a support ticket to the vendor and they replied saying there was something, such as a firewall blocking the connection. It needs to connect to license.precisionmanuals.com on port 8888. I am new to port forwarding, which is what they told me to do, so i'm not sure i done that right. Heres what else i tried.... taking tower to friends house to try their internet, mcafee uninstall, port forwarding using router interface, all with no luck. I am running windows 7 64bit. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ken
