Indy 9.0 ftp application hang when Firewall

Hi,

I'm using the latest Indy 9 with Delphi 6.0 and have been having a
problem when Windows firewall is turned on and the dialog "Windows
FireWall has blocked this Application"

Even if the user click the "unblock" button my application hangs and the
user has to use TaskManager to kill it. On restarting the application
gets through the firewall and completes ok.

I have an AntiFreeze in my application. It there some solution to this
problem. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am using Delphi 6.0 and am evaluating TurboDelphi. Is is a
simple upgrade to switch to Indy 10?

Regards

Peter
