Message: [QUOTE="Steven L Umbach, post: 7870890"] You can add ports to the exception list for Windows Firewall but As far as I know you can not add a range but have to specify each port individually which is a hassle if you need to open more than a few ports. For Active Directory domain computers you can do this once via Group Policy. It may also be done via the netsh firewall command as shown below for the domain profile. Workgroup computers would use standard instead. --- Steve [URL]http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Customizing-Windows-Firewall.html[/URL] To allow incoming traffic on TCP port 80 for an XP SP2 machine running as an intranet web server in a workgroup environment, use the following command: netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=80 name="Web Server (TCP 80)" mode=ENABLE scope=SUBNET profile=DOMAIN.
