Ports appear open but Mcafee logs connection blocks

Everything was working fine with our Mcafee and connections to filemaker until this morning.  Went through the logs and everything I can think of, but can't seem to figure out where the issue lies.

The program is allowed in connections, the ports are allowed in ports, but the system is still blocking connections from the approved program and port.  I know the issue lies in Mcafee, because I am able to turn the firewall off, and the connection is allowed, but as soon as the firewall is turned back on the remote program loses connection again.

Thanks!

to scan your computer for any McAfee related issue.
If the issues persists perhaps you could contact McAfee Technical Support for further assistance.

There is other moderators also patrolling these forums and may also be able to offer you assistance based upon their experience with these type of issues.

When it comes to technical stuff like ports and permissions I usually ask Technical Support.  After all it's free of charge.

Link below.  Of course that doesn't preclude someone with knowledge spotting this.  We can always hope.

This topic can be closed - the "technical service representative" couldn't figure it out, didn't understand teamviewer (since I was changing settings on the remote machine and testing the connection using my local machine), and his solution was to default the software.  It "fixed" the issue, but no explanation why it worked 7pm on a monday night and by 6am on tuesday it wouldn't work, nor what could have caused the sudden change.  Put back in all the same settings to what Mcafee had prior to the default, and the connection still works!?!  Heck of a glitch.
