Hi Ludek,
I deleted all firewall rules (app and inbound), and uninstalled MMW. I then installed the new beta version (4.1.18.1844 Beta).
MMW created 2 app rules (one private, one public) without any description. It also created 3 inbound rules (private, public, and domain). Each of the 3 rules is for all protocols and all ports. This combination works fine.
I did have one problem in that the MM service did not get automatically installed when I installed the new beta version. So I had to install it manually and provide my Windows account password. Not sure if that's expected or not, but it caused me some confusion until I thought to check to see if the MM service was running and found that it was not even installed. Once I installed it manually, the firewall rules were honored by both MMW and its service (when MMW not running).
Prior to trying this, I first tried to upgrade to the beta version (without deleting rules or uninstalling MMW), and Windows Firewall suggested I turn off public access. I did, and then found that I only had private and domain rules left, as expected. It still worked well since I was accessing the MM server on a private network. So it all seems good.
Now that I've helped you guys out, maybe you can take a look at my languishing week-old post "Re: MMA is not working with encrypted SD card [#14167]". This is actually still causing a problem for me. Thanks.
Dennis
