Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Please confirm for me the following things:

1. What version of iViewNapper are you using?

iViewNapper_20120514.exe

2. Are you in Australia?

Yes

3. Are you using a proxy server? (Uni, Work etc..)

No

4. Have you disabled all Anti-Virus Suites or similar during testing?

No.

Do you mean anti-virus or firewall?

I'm trying to become familiar with Win7 Firewall Control, but nothing pops up for IVN when started, so I thought it wasn't even getting to the XML lookup stage.

5. With a web browser can you download the following URLs?
http://www.abc.net.au/iview/xml/config.xml
http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?seriesIndex

Yes.
Okay, I disabled the firewall temporarily and suddenly IVN started working.

I re-enabled Win7 Firewall Control and it opened a dialogue to add IVN.

It seems Win7 FC uses a single reference name of WindowsApplication1 for these type of programs and since there was already a rule for WindowsApplication1 for SBSN, I guess it just ignored it.

I'm coming from a very easy to use Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 with XP and finding nothing equivalent for Win7. The closest recommended freeware was Win7 FC, but that is proving to be a pain. Anyone have better suggestions?
