"Disable Firewall" in MacOS9
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2019 7:48 pm
I am running OS9 on Sheepshaver running on macOS 10.13 host OS. The virtual OS9 can see the internet (using the default slirp setup), and I have successfully accessed web pages. I am attempting to register Finale 2004 in OS9. (Finale 2004 was a dual OS9/OSX-native app.) Folks at Makemusic have told me the internet registration process may still work. (They don't do manual registrations any more.)
So when I attempt to access their server I get "Finale was unable to complete the Internet transaction (Error - 10)". Followed by "We were unable to complete your registration, perhaps due to a firewall on your computer or server." (The registration screen has a big warning to disable any firewalls during the registration process.) I have tried doing this with Firewall disabled on both host computer and router. My guess is that the registration requires communication over a random port that would normally be blocked. Anyway, it may not work. But if anyone has an idea for something I could try, I would appreciate it.
