RE: Group Policy for port exceptions

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/

Thanks, Adam. Could someone explain to me, or point me to an explanation
of the cause of my trouble? Basically, with Windows Firewall turned off,
everything works. When on, I can't connect, and I can't seem to get an
exception policy applied. Is this Group Policy simply ignored? Thanks
again. --Steve
