Port 6051 & Windows 7 Pro
Hello. I opened port 6051 (created new rule in windows firewall) on my machine running Windows 7 Pro. However, whenever I try to telnet to it from another PC I get no connectivity. I need this opened for the deployment of AVG in my domain. Note: Machines are on the same subnet. So far it worked on an apple running windows 7 Ultimate. Any ideas on this issue

It doesn't hurt to monitor outgoing traffic, but its value is greatly exaggerated. Outward protection is basically an illusion. Once one of the nasties gets into your computer, it can essentially do whatever it wants, including circumventing the firewall. So the extra protection provided by a firewall that monitors outbound traffic is more apparent than real. Ken Blake
