Just sold a PCH A200 w/80GB HDD on e-bay. Had a good setup with the add-on but I was just looking for a one stop shop as far as media player. In addition, you might need to associate the rule with a different EXE file (the 'service' executable) if you want to run UMS as a service.I do like the PCH but I was having problems with forced subtitles (MI:III, Avatar, others). If you have multiple Java versions installed, you must make sure that it's the one actually used by UMS. It has to be to the Java executable that is actually used.

Regarding which EXE file to associate the rule with, there's no way for us to tell. If you have modified your firewall setup it might be though. With the default setup there's no need to create any outgoing rules. * Incoming TCP to the web interface port, 9001 by default. * Incoming UDP and TCP to the UPnP port, always port 1900 * Incoming TCP to the 'main' UMS port, 5001 by default The closest thing one can do is to suggest rules based on the default Windows firewall configuration, assuming that you haven't changed it.įrom a default configuration, you need to open three things: Since you can configure your firewall in many different ways and since your network topology can be anything, there is no way to give some rules that will work for everybody. UMS is very rarely useful in those circumstances, so the easy answer for most people would be to disable it. The Windows firewall is only needed if you connect your computer directly to the internet without a router, for example by using public WiFi zones. For most people the firewall is completely useless, since most people are behind a router that already has a firewall. This is basically a mess made by Microsoft by enforcing the use of their firewall on recent versions of Windows, which again is caused by the general lack of knowledge and hysteria that accompanies anything related to 'computer security'. To complicate it further, as UMS is a Java program Windows incorrectly associates rules with the Java installation, not the application. What ports you need to open depends on how you configure UMS, and what rules you make depends on how you have configured your firewall. It's not so simple, which is why there is on 'correct firewall rules'.
