I have a few programs that require that certain ports be opened (port 80 & 8080) for them. I cannot remember how to allow these programs access to the ports. My system has Zone Alarm for the firewall, and W2K for the OS. I have cable internet as well.

Hi when the program tries to open the port zone alarm should give you a pop up display to say which program(s) are trying to access the internet if you have disabled popup alert then clicking on the zonealarm symbol in the sys tray should bring thisup, then under the programs selection you need to check allow connect for the name of your program(s).

Hope this helps

You should be able to control which ports go through this. look within the manuals posted.
