Running on Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 Server SP1

Previous  Top  Next

When Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1 is installed it turns on the Windows Firewall by default. This causes any traffic that is being sent to Kiwi Syslog Daemon to be blocked.

To fix the problem, you will need to create an "Exception" in the Windows Firewall setup.

To do this follow the steps provided below...

·	Open Windows Firewall from the Windows Control Panel

·	Select the "Exceptions" Tab

·	Press the "Add Port" button

·	Specify a Name, Port number and select whether or not is it TCP or UDP.

   (By default, Kiwi Syslog Daemon uses UDP port 514.)

If you have setup Kiwi Syslog Daemon to listen on other ports you will also need to create exceptions for each of these ports. For example, if you are listening for SNMP traps then you will need to create a exception that allows UDP port 162.

If the problem still exists after following the instructions above, then please use the technical support form to receive further assistance.
