INSTALLING EVE AND FIREWALL SETTINGS

This is only relevant if you are using EVE on a network.

Microsoft SQL Server is a powerful database program that has strong security features in place to help protect your data from hackers.  If you have a Firewall in operation on the computer where the Server is installed and you are using EVE on a network, you need to take the following steps to inform your system that it is OK for the EVE Clients to access data on the Server:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\sqlserver.exe

• Click OK twice to save changes and quit the Firewall.
