Default windows firewall settings block mcGateway from being det
ected in mcStudio

I received my development kit yesterday and started trying to
get everything connected, but got stuck for a couple of hours
with the gateway not being seen by mcStudio even through
everything else seemed to be connected properly. It was on the
wifi, mcOTA could see it, but nothing from mcStudio.
I went through all the threads I could find and tried everything
suggested to no avail, and at the time I did recall that I'd
accepted a firewall request from windows, so I thought it should
be seeing it.
Eventually I ended up in my firewall settings, and saw 4 items
for mcScript, but two of them were denied, one of which was
private networks.
I removed all 4 entries, reopened studio and when it prompted
me, I got something that looked like the attached image, with
the private network button unchecked by default (different app,
same look)
In all my scouring around I didn't see anything explicitly
saying that we had to check this button, so it never occurred to
me that I'd done something wrong on that step. If it is out
there, it wasn't where it needed to be, or easily seen!
It'd be great if you could add a note to this in the
documentation wherever it'd be relevant, but specifically a note
in section 2.1 of the mcScript guide as a highlight/warning of
things that could go wrong and say, check your firewall
settings, and ensure you enabled private.
Lots of documentation has things like that, little triangles
with ! to indicate HEY look at me, I have potentially useful
information.
Hopefully this post / documentation update can save someone hour
of frustration!

During installation of mcStudio the firewall opens port 25452
both incoming and outgoing UPD/TCP traffic.
The gateways advertise over UDP that they exist and what the IP
address is. mcStudio listens and find the gateways that way.
For what ever reason the installation did not open the firewall
correctly. Is there anything special in your network?

There's nothing special on my network, it's a wireless router
provided by my ISP with nothing special done to it.
If the private network is blocked by default (as it was in my
case like the attached picture) why would the gateway
advertising work, it would be blocked? Unless you're saying that
mcStudio is configured to tell the firewall prompt to check that
box by default?

I have to look into this. mcStudio uses command line command to
set this. I let you know what the result is.
