my windows 7 dedi and the 2008 servers we use don't seem to like the firewall scripts we used on xp, such as
netsh firewall add portopening ALL %serverport% ALL-%serverport%
netsh firewall add portopening ALL %queryport% ALL-%queryport%
netsh firewall add portopening ALL %rconport% ALL-%rconport%
netsh firewall add portopening ALL %customport1% ALL-%customport1%
netsh firewall add allowedprogram "%gameserverexe%" %serverip%_%serverport% ENABLE
i still get the firewall pop up and ask permissions if i launch the game via console, can i ask if anyone has a better way round this please and post the code below ?
