Re: Port 6655

Phillip:

Thank you for the response, though it could've been made in a less
condescending tone. Please forgive my misuse of terminology. A little more
info for you:

According to the vendor of the application, when launched, the application
attempts to start a local service that opens port (TCP) 6655 (or, found out
yesterday, 6666). (Did I phrase this better?)

This is a Windows XP box and Windows Firewall is DISABLED (as a rule on all
PC's on our network)

My Internal Network Definition (LAT) on the ISA is configured as follows:
10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 (Subnet 1)
10.1.0.0 - 10.1.0.255 (Subnet 2)
10.255.255.255

Does this info. help?

Thanks for any additional insight you can offer.

Lou

I've been in touch with the vendor re: same and they've indicated that
port 6655 (TCP) needs to be open on the PC. As far as I can tell, I've
enabled port 6655 every way I know how and it's still not working. If I
disable the Firewall Client and try to run the application it works like
a charm; as soon as I re-enable and try to run, it craps out.

You don't open ports, you don't enable ports,...so I have no idea what you
mean by that. This is an individual PC we are talking about not a firewall
device. Ports do not "pre-exist". The port is created by the Application
when the Application is started up. It is already "allowed" unless you
really went out of your way somehow to stop it. If there is a "personal
firewall" running on this box, get rid of it or disable it, getting rid of
it is much better.

If the Firewall Client is getting in the way it is because the way you are
trying to contact the destination is flawed. Or the Internal Network
Definition on the ISA is mis-configured (or both of the above at the same
time).
