Quote -  You will also have to allow FFRender.exe through your firewall, even if you don't use network rendering. I don't know if FFRender.exe has to access the internet every time you use Poser or if it just needs to connect once to update the Flash Player.

The FFRenderer in Poser Pro also needs permission to go through the firewall, but it is NOT accessing the internet for anything.

If you check in your firewall settings, etc., you will find that the FFRender.exe is accessing your own computer.

I don't understand all the techno babble, but a techie friend assured me that that is the case.

I suspect it is the same with Poser 8.
