INTRODUCTION
Software that you use to block advertisements may interfere with communications in Microsoft Office Groove 2007 or earlier versions of Groove.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use some software or Internet filtering applications to selectively filter items such as advertisements, pop-up windows, cookies, and JavaScript from your browser. Typically, this software re-routes traffic through a proxy that the software establishes on one of the computer's open ports. These ports are not likely to be ports that Groove recognizes and can use to communicate.

Some of this software has options that you can configure so that traffic to or from a designated domain is not filtered. To restore communications in Groove, configure the software so that traffic to and from servers that are used by Groove is not filtered. To find these servers, follow these steps:  On the Options menu, click Communications Manager. Click Network Settings. Note the domains given in the values of the following settings:  Device Management Domain Device Presence Protocol Server (all) Home GMS URL Relay Server URL (all)</li></ul>

In most cases, these will be on the same domain.</li> Configure your filtering software according to the manufacturer's instructions. When you do this, create an exception for each domain that is listed in the previous values.</li></ol>
