For those who have instruments connected to a PC running Windows XP... Do you have the XP firewall enabled? Do you have Auto Update checked? When we try to enable the firewall on our system, we are unable to connect to the instrument (yes, we've allowed the port used by Diva to connect to the instrument to pass). Since (for some reason) we are frequently hacked, we've had to hide all our acquisition computers behind a proxy server. The proxy server gives us security, but decreases bandwidth, and makes file transfer over the network really slow. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having security/connection issues with their systems. Specifically, we have issues with instruments running the FACSDiVa program (4.1.2) on an Aria, LSRII, and Cantos. Also, I'm worried that if we just apply updates automatically, one of these days we'll find an incompatibility with the update and our ability to run/connect to the instruments. Has anyone had similar issues or solutions?
