Configuring the firewall for automatic access

Normally, RezOvation software should be automatically detected and configured. If this does not occur, then you should confirm that Norton Internet Security is set to allow automatic access.

  1. Open Norton Internet Security from the Start menu.

  14. Repeat steps 3~13 until all RezOvation GT related executables are added to the firewall. Note: if you are installing the firewall on a network client, rather than the main computer, then you only need to allow access for the RezOvationGT.exe, which is typically located in c:\rezovationgt or c:\program files\rezovation\rezovation gt\.
    • c:\program files\rezovation\rezovation gt\rezovationgt.exe (client and server)
    • c:\program files\rezovation\rezovation gt\system files\rezovationgt.exe (server)
    • c:\program files\rezovation\rezovation gt\system files\RezOvationAdmin.exe (server)
    • c:\program files\rezovation\rezovation gt\system files\rezovationpropertymanager.exe (server)

Configuring the firewall for use with a network

If you are using RezOvation software in a networked environment (e.g. you have a main computer that contains the database, and other computers connect to this database over the network), then you may need to configure Norton Internet Security to allow network access.

By default, NIS should be configured to enable network access, but in some cases, this function may not work. While RezOvation support cannot assist with this configuration, there are other resources available to you:

If you have not yet set up RezOvation to work on your network, please see the following guides:
