Hopefully someone can help me with this problem and hopefully I am posting in the correct forum. I have a java application used to manage packet filtering rules on a layer III network switch, a 3com Corebuilder 3500. This application is no longer supported and it is critical to my business application. The application is installed from a windows exe that extracts a bunch of java classes and an html file (or several hundred) to a local directory. You then view the html file with the java app inside it locally. The exe can be found at ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/corebuilder/9000/v3.0/webmanagev30.exe if anyone has the time to install the files. The part that concerns me is the FilterBuilder application.
This was working fine in windows XP SP2 environment up until late November. Then some security patch presumably was installed automatically and now when I go to use the application it is unable to modify the filter files in the local filesystem of my computer. This renders the application useless. I installed the application onto another patched up XP computer and the same problem exists. I can only get the program to run on an old win98 computer that has not been updated in ages. I uninstalled all the MS hotfixes listed in add/remove programs on my XP box and this did not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
