If you are not sure which version of Windows 95 is installed, right click on the “My Computer” icon on
the Windows desktop. Select the “Properties” option, and look under the “General” tab. On the upper
right-hand quadrant of the tab, underneath the “Windows 95” line, is the version number. If the version
number is 4.00.950 A, Windows 95A is installed, and you should run the msdun13.exe patch if the
machine running PhoneSweep does not have a full-time network connection. Otherwise, you don't need to
install the patch.
3.2.2 Firewalls and TCP/IP
You can use Firewalls on your local desktop or laptop computer, provided the following:
Allow Port 4321 for standard PhoneSweep operations on your local computer.
Allow Port 4322 for PhoneSweep Gold Distributed and other remote operations, otherwise keep
this port closed.
If you allow connections based on programs (such as can be set in Zone Alarm) you must allow the
following:
Phonesweep.exe
MySQLD.exe (PhoneSweep MySQL database)
PS.exe (PhoneSweep user interface)
PhoneSweep Engine
MySQLD-OPT.exe
Other utilities as needed (Debug.bat, isamchk.exe, brutecreate.exe, etc.)
3.2.3 Software that can interfere with TCP/IP operation
Some network software, or other programs that use TCP/IP have been known to interfere with
PhoneSweep’s operation. If you find PhoneSweep is unable to operate over TCP/IP, try using
PhoneSweep on a machine that does not have the same network software, or, if possible, removing the
network or other software from the current machine.
3.3 Winsock 2 and HTML Help
PhoneSweep requires WinSock 2.0 and HTML Help in order to function correctly. The installer will
attempt to detect whether either needs to be installed, and will try to start the appropriate Microsoft
installation program if so. If you are missing these programs, installers for each are included on the
PhoneSweep distribution CD:
hhupd.exe is the HTML help installer. This is already installed if you have Internet Explorer
4.01. If you don't have Internet Explorer 4.01 or later, you will need to run hhupd.exe from the
PhoneSweep installation CD before PhoneSweep online help will work. We recommend that you
run this program before installing WinSock 2.0.
w95ws2setup.exe will install WinSock 2.0 on your system.
