i have implemented a small client server model to do file transfer over a LAN network.It work with some machines on the network and on others it doesnt. when i run the server.py file in some machine then it pops up a windows security alert. The message is as follows: Do you want to keep blocking this program? there are three options below it. 1. Keep Blocking 2. Unblock 3. Ask Me later. I selected the option unblock.Even then the client and server are not able to communicate. I get a error saying that:- socket.error: (10060, 'Operation timed out') I guess its a firewall problem... How do i go abt it????? any help?
Yes it is a firewall problem. To make sure, turn off the firewall on a machine that doesn't work and try the application again. If that works, put an exception in the firewall for your application's port.
