    Personal Firewall and VNC:
    I am attempting to get VNC to work with my Sunbelt Personal Firewall. I am using RealVNC. There is a test button with this program that confirms if the configuration is ready. When I disable the firewall, the test works, however, when I enable the firewall, the test fails. The RealVNC instructions for use with the Windows firewall are:

    "Use Windows Firewall (Windows XP Service-Pack 2 and newer). Recent versions of Windows XP include a built-in firewall. From Service Pack 2 onwards, the firewall can be easily configured to allow particular applications to open whichever ports (TCP ports 5800 and 5900 for VNC) they require. By adding an ‘Application Exception’ to the Windows Firewall for the VNC Server, both User- and Service- mode servers can be made accessible remotely without the need for port numbers to be specified explicitly. The VNC server is able to detect Windows Firewall and configure it automatically when the VNC Server Properties dialog is dismissed."

    Please assist.

    Thank you
