SP2 firewall configuration

[randy]

I just installed SP2 on Windows XP. I use a program
IS4Yahoo (from Yahoo) that syncronizes the Yahoo calendar
with various calendars on the PC, in my case Palm
desktop. IS4Yahoo stopped working, so I suspect its a
blocked port on the firewall.

Working through the online SP2 help, I enabled the app
first, then try to run netstat to identify the ports the
app is trying to run. Your supposed to then run an app
called tasklist to determine the task id.

My questions are:

1) How do I run netstat in a loop, i.e. use the interval
option?

2) I do not have an app called tasklist, where is it?

3) What ports do I need to enable to use IS4Yahoo, the
intellisync app from Yahoo's calendar page?

Thank You

1) Netstat -a 1 ( the one will cause 1 second loop modify as needed )

2) Tasklist.exe ( formally TList.exe ) is normally found in
%WinDir%\System32.

3)Not sure. Why do you not just put the executable in the exceptions? this
way you do not have to know the exact ports. ( of course then you are
trusting IS4Yahoo's program to be doing the right thing )
