Article 353 - Windows Firewall may disable GigE network

Issue:

Cause:

In cases where a GigE Vision-based application built with the FlyCapture 2.x interface is run from a network location, the local Windows firewall may disable the network without prompting the user, causing the application to hang.

Solution:

To fix, add the application to the Windows firewall exception list. For instructions, see this Microsoft knowledge base article.
