How do I setup my 3rd-party software firewall to allow Input Director Masters and Slaves communicate?
Input Director instances communicate using UDP and TCP (by default) on port 31234 (the port number is configurable under General Preferences). There are two executable files that need to be allowed to communicate both inbound and outbound: InputDirector.exe and InputDirectorSessionHelper.exe. They are located in the install directory (the default is C:\Program Files\Input Director). Most good firewall products should prompt you the first time that one of these .exe files attempts to communication and let you decide whether to allow them to do so. If you are running the Windows firewall on XP, 2003 or Vista, the Input Director installer will automatically add the necessary rules to let it communicate.
