I know this has been discussed here in the past but
have a lot of people
gone with this service since the last time it was
brought up? Have people decided it is good or bad. I
installed it a few days ago and so far everything went
very well and I have no complaints.

Thanks for any replies.




I just got mine in the mail. Had problems trying to set
it up and getting Error 3 proxy error.

Used the MJ live support. Helpful, but couldn't locate
the problem. She told me the ports to use to allow on
my firewall.

Well, the firewall is hard to understand. I disabled
the firewall and MJ works like a charm. I emailed the
firewall people (Sunbelt formerly owned by Kerio) just
now to see how to set it up to allow MJ to connect.

Will let you know how it turns out.

p.s. I tested MJ at work. It's not good because they
have a rotten DSL connection on a network. It's kinda
slow and when I called someone she said it kept cutting
in and out. At home I have cable.

Are you referring to Windows Firewall? You can allow MJ
through if you add it in Exceptions window. It should
already be configured for MJ application.




No, the windows firewall is disabled. I use a 3rd party
the name I wrote above. I just wrote to Tech support.
Maybe they can test out the MJ and tell me what settings
to use.

Oh, Ya. Sunbelt. For some reason I was thinking you was your ISP. Well,
good luck. I have tried other firewalls but went back to Windows firewall.
To bad your DSL at work is to slow. Maybe the network is just to busy to
handle the traffic.
