Does Winsock RSHD/NT work with Windows XP Service Pack 2?

0

Yes, it does, based on our testing. But if you have the new Windows Firewall enabled, you must configure it to allow Winsock RSHD/NT to receive incoming connections. By default, the firewall will block the connections. You can do this interactively through the Windows Control Panel. Double-click on the Windows Firewall icon in the Control Panel, then go to the Exceptions tab. Click the Add Program button. Click the Browse button and find the file “wrshdnt.exe”, which will be in the Winsock RSHD/NT installation folder (by default, “wrshdnt” on the system drive). Click the Change Scope button if you want to limit connections only from your network (“subnet”) or from a specific list of IP addresses. (If you do not click the Change Scope button to do this, it will allow incoming rsh/rcp connections from any computer, limited only by your RSHD/NT Security File.) Click OK to save it, then mark the new line showing “wrshdnt.exe” with a check. This will allow RSHD/NT to accept connections agai
