@RobbyBobby:
We haven't heard back from you. Did you get it fixed?
I tried and tried to find an answer for how to configure McAfee properly to allow local apps to talk to each other. Searches produce so many hits for 127.0.0.1 because McAfee changes people's Email server to that address. Apparently McAfee wants Outlook to not talk directly to the mail server, but instead to go through a local mail server McAfee installs that removes spam and checks for viruses. Ironic isn't it, that McAfee sets up its own local app server for its own work, but won't let other local app servers operate.
I found a couple people saying that the problem was in some McAfee thing called"Privacy". I found two people who were unable to get access to their own servers by configuring the "Privacy" settings properly, telling McAfee about the servers. Instead, the only thing that worked for them was to disable or uninstall the "Privacy" thing altogether. That's not a great solution, but if McAfee Privacy is simply unable to permit programs other than itself to talk to your own computer, then there is no other option.

If there is some place in McAfee where you enter allowed port addresses, you should show us a screen shot of that. Somebody might be able to explain what to enter.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
