Re: Windows XP & Internet Connection Firewall

[Greg Kremer <greg dot kremer at wright dot edu>]

Rob,
Thanks for the quick reply.  
The only problem is that in Windows XP you cannot specify port numbers 
when you are running the Internet connection firewall that is part of 
Windows XP, Unless that can be done via a registry hack.  I would be 
much appreciated if someone does know how to do this could let me know.

Thanks,
Greg Kremer
