Windows Firewall and Group Policy

[Guest]

I am attempting to set up group policy for the windows firewall for our
laptop users.
I am able to open up the firewall for the usual suspects, namely rdp and
icmp. However, there are a couple of other ports that I need to open but when
I put it in the gpo, it doesn't work. Under Define Port Exceptions, I enter:
2258:TCP:"*":enabled:SonicWall AD Connector
6129:TCP:"*":enalbledameWare MRC
Both ports remain blocked by the firewall.

I'm pulling my hair out and I don't have that much left. Can anyone see what
I'm doing wrong???
