Hi!

I have installed Houdini apprentice on my second computer and it run very slow.

Is it possible that ZoneAlarm slow down Houdini ? (I don't know very much about firewall).

If yes, what is the best firewall to use for Houdini run normally ?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Yes, ZoneAlarm may well be interfering with license manager.

Q.What ports do I need to open on my firewall for Houdini access?

A. The following TCP/IP ports are used for Houdini

* Houdini License Server (sesientd) = port 1715
* Houdini Server (hserver) = port 1714

Thanks jason_iversen!,

But I don't find this ports and where to open it in ZoneAlarm.

I don't have ZoneAlarm Security Suite, just the free one… maybe this ports are there.

What firewall you use?
