    During initial installation, deploytool will throw errors if Windows Firewall is disabled.

    Wiki Manual Updated: Requirements Section

    I encountered this error and eventually figured it out by doing an advanced install.
    I added "Windows Firewall Service running during install" to the requirements in the wiki manual.
    This will hopefully prevent a lot of frustration.
    I only tested the issue for XP SP2 and not for Vista.
    I assumed the issue applies to both OSs.

    As you can read in my previous post, I fixed the issue in SVN not to force users have M$ firewall running...

    Great!

    :D

    Very cool.
    I will remove the wiki manual entry that I added when RC2 comes out and includes your fix.

That means avoid making choices that may not work; instead make the "standard" choice, which is often simply accepting the default. A static IP address is known to work with MP1. An address...

    If you use a VPN connection to your home network, you should be able to use the MP client to connect to your server natively instead of using MPExtended.
