Something within these FW rules must change after the HDD is removed/replugged. Now,if I've disabled the HDD on shutdown.īoot PC,enable HDD,start xampp,start db server both run fine.īUT! no data passing and no website onlineĪlthough now found to be inaccurate as it can communicate once you have removed FW rules. Website in xampp is connectable from the internet. Ok,so I run xampp and a database server on a removable HDD also stated in bios as hot plug/removable.īoot PC,start xampp,start db server,all runs fine.ĭata passes back and forth from db server almost immediately HDD enabled after bootup cannot communicate with the internet? I don't make the rules I just click ok when windows pops up.Īll the info is there in the 1st post. Unless it contains some other information relating to that program at that specific rule making time like its id or a pid or some other identifier? The Apps have both TCP and UDP + all ports - thats it. If it needs to keep redefining the rules, then there must be something different in the rule.

If your app doesn't have an install, then it should only need to define the firewall rules once. Typically, firewall rules are defined at application install time.
