I know.  That's what I explained.

Do you know how to use GPO on the server?

I found the policy that allows administrators to use the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel to define local Port Exceptions.
I am looking for the one that will Define Port Exceptions through a Group Policy Setting at the server for a group (OU) of connected computers.

Yes, the settings for GP are under "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/Network Connections/Windows Firewall/Domain Profile/Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions"

I have a client that installed a database and client that wants to communicate over port 6719.
The DB vendor first suggested that the Xp firewall be turned off, but then setteled on having TCP port 6719 open in both directions at each client PC and the server. All attempts to allow the database client progam to connect to the database fail. All telnet connection attempts to port 6719 on the Xp workstations fail.
Can we open port 6719 by using a group policy?
