ngRC (Next Generation Remote Control) was not connecting on my Windows
7 build 7000 machine. To fix it you need to go to C:\Program Files\ngrc
and change the security permissions on the ngrc folder, for the Users
group from Read and Execute to Modify.

ngRC
should then work again, you will need to go in to Advanced Settings in
the Windows Firewall to add a new rule for port 8080 inbound for your
Private network so ngRC will also connect from your hand held devices,
that’s assuming your running the Windows firewall and not something
else.

I’ve not tested much of the functionality of
ngRC but it connected and I could access my music library in the ngRC
web UI so all seems well again!
