Firewalling for the Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall






 

Before we can open ports for Ares, we need to figure out what ports ares is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that.



Open up Ares. Then click the Control Panel icon in the toolbar at the top of your screen.



You should see a bunch of tabs close to the top of this window. One of these tabs should be labeled Transfer. Go ahead and click it now.



Enter the port you want Ares to use into the Accept incoming connections on port box. By default this port is set to 1157. You can change it to whatever you like, or leave it set to 1157.

Please enter the port you chose for Ares below.

Ares' Port

Go ahead and open up Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall.


Find the name of your computer in the menu on the left hand side of TermiNet and click it. In the picture above you will see my computer is named RandomAction.


You should now see a new menu that has dropped down under your computer's name. Click the Traffic Rules option in that new menu.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall's firewall for Ares. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Add Rule menu.

You should see a spreadsheet full of empty cells. Right click in there to get a new drop down menu. Click the Add Rule option.
