Troubleshooting sending of Windows sticky notes over local network

Question

We are looking for a Windows sticky note tool (multiple licenses) for our internal use. We are pushing firewall through our group policy. During the evaluation I had to disable firewall on all the system I was using it. I thought  Notezilla  was supposed to configure the firewall during the installation or when we run it very first time. Please help?

Answer 1

You don't have to disable complete Windows Firewall. When you add computers to  Notezilla  (using Send To->Computers option from a sticky note), Windows firewall will automatically ask you if you want to allow  Notezilla  to communicate. You would need to add computers on every computer running  Notezilla . Note that when adding computers, Windows Firewall should be enabled. Only then it will detect and add  Notezilla .

First, make sure at least one computer is added in the computers list in  Notezilla . If after enabling Windows Firewall and adding computers, you are unable to send note then you would need to go to the Firewall and  configure the PC  firewall to allow  Notezilla .

You can search for firewall in Windows search box and you will see Allow an app through Windows Firewall . Choose this option and enable  Notezilla  . If  Notezilla  is not listed, then click on 'Allow another app' and add  Notezilla . Also make sure that the firewall options to allow the app is enabled. If  Notezilla  is not listed then you will need to add it. Try all options Public, Private etc.

If you are using any other Firewall tool (usually included with Anti-Virus software) then you will have to configure that firewall.

Make sure you do this on all the computers.
