Minimserver greyed out

Dear simoncn;

Funny you should mention the firewall and Mcafee. It happens that I have McAfee, and it was the cause of a similar issue where a Linn routine called "Konfig" appeared to have lost contact with the Linn Akurate (not a misspelling) DS (a DAC, among other cool capabilities). At the Linn tech's suggestion, I disabled the firewall, but it made no difference. But he then suggested adding an exception for the Konfig application (not sure if this is the correct term for it, or perhaps App) in McAfee. Anyway, sure enough, after going into McAfee's "Web and Email Protection" under Firewall, then "Internet Connections for Programs", I found "Linn Konfig". I then changed the setting from "Use designated ports " to "Open to all devices" as McAfee's web site suggested. And voila, Linn's Konfig now works!!! But if I leave Konfig open as I typically do, I hope I'm not leaving myself open to an attack somehow.

Anyway, I looked for a similar entry in McAfee's "Internet Connections for Programs" for MinimWatch. I didn't see anything, unless you all have an idea how the name is formatted so I can select it and do a similar port/device change.

I feel we (you guys) are converging on the answer, especially considering how it resolved my Linn Konfig issue. Any furher suggestions?

Thanks for the support guys!!
