Installing the WinFax PRO 10.04 update August 18th, 2009
WinFax PRO 10.04 update is a patch file released from Symantec in 2005 that updates the Fax Sharing features of WinFax PRO. After the patch is applied, the following WinFax PRO 10.03 files are updated in the WinFax installation folder:
- About.cfg
- ISUtil.dll
- UNINSTAL.DLL
- WFXCTL32.EXE (2 different versions depending on operating system)
- WFXRES32.DLL
- WFXIFWPP.DLL
- WPHOST.WPI
The update should only be applied to WinFax PRO 10.03 (North America) version, and is recommended only if you are using the Fax Sharing feature where one or more client(s) are using Windows XP.
We do not recommend installing this patch for any other purpose, as it does not solve any other issues. If you’re having a problem with WinFax not related to fax sharing under Windows XP, then this update will not fix it. If you are using version 10.03 and do not use fax sharing, this update is not recommended. Do not install this update overtop any other version of WinFax, or any non-English language version of WinFax.
Symantec’s instructions to download and install WinFax PRO 10.04 update is available here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/faxprod.nsf/docid/2004113014595304

TCP and UDP Ports for WinFax PRO or TalkWorks PRO Fax Sharing August 18th, 2009
WinFax PRO and TalkWorks PRO does not use fixed TCP or UDP ports when using Fax or Message Sharing. Fax Sharing is accomplished using Microsoft DCOM technology. DCOM dynamically assigns one TCP port and one UDP port to each executable process serving DCOM objects on a computer. DCOM initially uses Port 135, once this connection is established, other ports are used. To ensure proper Fax Sharing, you need to ensure port 135 is not blocked and that wfxctl32.exe process is not blocked in your firewall or anti-virus settings.
