Some trojans also use this port as their default communications port also.
For this port to be open through the firewall, the application involved needs to have been access through the firewall (unless its in allow everything mode). With the sygate firewall that I've used the only way to block this port is to block the relevant application. First look at the list of all applications that have been attempted to go through the firewall, (Tools/Applications or click the Applications button in the main window). Look at the ones that are not blocked (i.e. they are set to 'ask' or 'allow') and block the application (by clicking on the tick or question mark). This is for the version I've used which is 4.0 Build 670 so YMMV. ------------------------- Reece Arnott 62B Heriot Row Dunedin New Zealand +64 3 4774007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------
