RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 79


Hi Gerard,

I work behind a NT firewall as well, and run Setup without problems. I just
tell Setup to use the same configuration as Internet Explorer does. That
should work.
As Harold says, with a http server you should encounter no problem.

Gerard,

Setup should work just fine behind a firewall.  In fact, I use it at 
work and at home behind a NAT/Firewall box.  All Setup does it use HTTP 
and FTP... both of which have no problems with firewalls.  Why don't you 
give it a try?
