How to set up Norton with port forwarding
How to set up Norton with UPnP How to set up Norton with port forwarding
This was setup using v6.0.4.34. Verified steps work with Norton Internet Security 2005. •Assuming you have not used DC++ on your computer before, start up DC++. You should see a dialog like the one below:
Make sure to change the it to "Always allow connections to this program on all ports."
•Next, you will see the dialog box below:
Make sure to change it to "Permit" and check "Always use this action."
•Now DC++ should be set up.
If you did not get these popups, then you may need to manually configure the firewall to allow DC++ traffic.
•Open up the main screen for the firewall and click Configure.
•Go to the Program Control Tab.
•Click on the Add button. Navigate to where DC++ lives on your computer (typically C:\Program Files\DC++\).
•You will then be prompted with the following dialog:
Make sure Permit is selected and hit OK.
•Next, Norton will prompt you to which category DC++ should belong in. Select File Transfer.
•You should now see DCPlusPlus.exe listed.
•DC++ should now work!
How to set up Norton with UPnP •Read the UPnP FAQ.
•Open up Norton, click on Personal Firewall, click on Configure.
•Next, click on the Advanced tab. Then click on General.
•Scroll to the bottom of the list and select the rule: UPNP Port 1900 Block Rule
* Click on Modify. Change the rule from Block to Permit. Click OK. After a minute, you should now see your router appear in My Network Places. If you do not, also permit the rule: UPNP Port 5000 Block Rule.
•If after enabling the second rule the router still does not appear, consult the troubleshooting section of the UPnP FAQ.

How to set up Sygate Personal Firewall Pro
This was setup using version 5.1 Build 1615s. Verified same procedure works on version 5.5 Build 2637.
•Assuming you haven't run DC++ yet with the firewall, start up DC++. You will see a dialog like the following:
Make sure to check Remember my answer, and do not ask me again for this application.
•DC++ should now be set up!
The above is a quick way to set up DC++ on your computer which should work for most people. By default, DC++ uses random ports for traffic; sometimes this is a good thing and other times it's better to specify which port it can use. Follow the guide below on how to lock down DC++ to use a single inbound port (not required!). This is not needed if you run DC++ in passive mode. •Select a port that DC++ traffic will use. Pick a number between 1025 - 65535. Put that port into DC++.
•Open up the main screen for Sygate:
Click on Applications.
•This will list all the applications Sygate knows about on your computer that have tried to access the Internet.
Select DC++ and click on Advanced.
•
* Put the port number you randomly selected into the Local Ports section for both TCP and UDP.
* Uncheck Allow ICMP traffic. Since DC++ doesn't respond to pings, there is no point enabling it for a possible ping flood.
•Now DC++ is set up with a more secure firewall rule.

How to set up Zone Alarm Pro
This was set up using 4.0.146.029. Verified same procedure works on 5.5.062.004.
*CAUTION*
Older versions of Zone Alarm are known to cause Rollback Inconsistencies! There are dozens of documented cases of Zone Alarm blocking DC++ even though it's been properly allowed. The only fix is to uninstall ZA!! •After installing Zone Alarm, start up DC++. Immediately, you will see a similar dialog with the following:
* Check Remember this answer the next time I use this program
•Following that dialog, you will see another:
* Check Remember this answer the next time I use this program
•That's it! DC++ should now be set up!
•If you're still having problems, then double check the programs security settings. Go to Program Control -> Programs and find DC++.
Make sure DC++ has green check marks in Access Trusted / Internet and Server Trusted / Internet.
