We're running sbs 2003 with a proxy and ISA 2004. I'm trying to open a
port
so I can view my friends webcam. We're using yahoo messenger. How and
where
do I go to open a port? Do I need to open the port on the server and on
my
workstation computer?

Thanks for the help
Jeff

There is no such thing as "opening a port" with ISA..

You create Access Rules that grant permision for certain users or sources to
access certain destinations using certain protocols within certain defined
schedules.

Messenger programs (doesn't matter who makes it) are not fully functional
over NAT Firewalls or Proxy Firewalls and it does not matter who makes the
firewall.
