--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-07-13 16:04:34 --- Hello again,
just to prevent misunderstanding:
--- quote --- that message can be safely ignored. --- quote ---
Just means that the functionality of downloading/uploading from/to peers is not harmed. Though as I previously said: you won't get maximum speed due to blocking of incoming port. I think it's not in the scope of wine to map Windows NetFwMgr functionality to Linux/BSD firewalls (iptables, ipfw) also considering the fact that such operations require root privileges.
A feasible approach could be to provide stubs for the interface methods and spit out messages to the console hinting the user to configure the local firewall accordingly (app wants to open incoming port xxx and the like).
Regards
