programmer doesn't see usb blaster

On a new netbook (Samsung NC10 with XP home, sp3) I installed the quartus II version 8.1 programmer. I also installed drivers for the usb blaster. The programmer keeps saying: No Hardware at hardware...

I finally found the problem.

After trying to "add hardware" at the "hardware setup" in the programmer, I got the message “Attempted to access JTAG server -- internal error code 82 occurred”.

I ignored it all the time, but after an internet search, someone at this forum in an old thread, suggested to switch of the firewall software (thanks Embedos).

So I did. The error message disappeared en the USB blaster showed up on the "add hardware list". Ready to be chosen. YES.

So to be able to use the USB-blaster, you need to have a JTAG server. Usually this is the local machine. To find this server (my own PC!!!) I had switch off the firewall software. It's time to finetune this software.
