Why does my firewall warn about NoICE when using a P&E BDM pod?
If you use a firewall, you may receive a warning when you run NoICE for the first time after selecting a P&E pod. For example, the Windows XP Firewall says “Windows Firewall has blocked this program from accepting connections from the Internet or a network.” This is because the DLL that NoICE uses for P&E BDM supports all P&E BDM pods including an Ethernet version (Cyclone Pro and Cyclone Max). The DLL runs an enumeration process that listens on a TCP port. Since NoICE does not support the Cyclone pods, you can tell your firewall to block access to the port. This should have no effect on NoICE. For more information, see FAQ#61 at www.pemicro.com.
