Firewall Configuration for Networking

If you're using the Networking functionality of Campground Master, you may have run into connection issues due to firewalls blocking the communications.  With several common software packages adding firewalls automatically (including Windows XP's auto-updates), it's difficult to avoid them -- but it's fairly simple to work around them and get Campground Master to work.

We've added a firewall configuration guide to the documentation, available now on the web site:

http://CampgroundMaster.com/help/firewall.html

This contains some basic information about firewalls, as well as an illustrated step-by-step guide for the 4 most common programs: Windows Firewall (in XP), ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security and McAfee Personal Firewall.

In case you want something to print out and keep handy, we've also added it to the printable manual which you can download from our web site.  The firewall section is 3 pages (without illustrations), and can be found in the Network Functions chapter.  Just download it and print out those specific pages -- currently, print pages 314 to 317, but this could change if other manual updates are made.

If you prefer the illustrated version, you can download the e-Book version of the manual and keep it handy on your computer:
