Hi Jawad, It depends in two things: 1. where the traffic originates 2. what protocol(s) your using For instance, if the connection originates as a TCP protocol from an Internet machine, the protocol definition would look like this: TCP Inbound, local 6000, remote any If the connection originates as a UDP protocolk from behind ISA, then it would look like this: UDP Receive-Send, local any, remote 6000 Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/authors/harrison/ Read the books! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jawad Shaikh" <raja_jawad@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 2:52 AM Subject: [isalist] WANT TO OPEN PORT 6000 http://www.ISAserver.org hi friends, i want to open port # 6000, so that i am able to run an application which updates my remote location which is connected through radio modem.
