Maple 9.5

Maple 9.5 running under Windows XP starts two executables -- java.exe and mserver.exe -- which use TCP/IP to communicate. Thus, the Windows XP SP2 firewall (and other firewalls) will detect this network activity. When the Windows XP SP2 firewall detects the network activity, click on the Unblock button.
