Question

Turning Off ALL Firewalls


Hello everyone Now i have a problem and was hoping maybe someone more complex could help me, I am trying to use a program which requires me to turn off my firewalls i assume it is the firewall because i get a error something like "Error: 500 Can't connect to :80 bad protocol 'tcp' > I have checked over and over and over again if i have my router, windows xp, or any anti-virus firewalls on but nothing seems to fix it it still acts as though there is a firewall blocking it.... Does anyone know what i may be doing wrong or how i can disable ALL firewalls to run this ????

A "500" error could also suggest something wrong on the program maker's website. Maybe their servers are down or not working properly. Have you checked with them for support on this problem yet?

Hmm yeah the server on the site works fine but the the program gives me a "<Error: 500 Can't connect to :80 bad protocol 'tcp' >" My friend has windows xp and it seems to work just fine for him.

If this is a proxy, your provider may be blocking it -- in which case you can't do anything about it (other than try to find one at an alternate port, or a different proxy server).

Edit

Is this program running your machine and connecting to your machine? I mean, is it something that is a server that is installed on your local machine and then you are trying to launch a client to it? It could be that there is already some program running on your computer using port 80 (Apache? IIS?), and the program you are running cannot launch its server on the same port.
