Firewall Exceptions for Programs versus Ports
I'm running Microsoft Office Groove and it is setup under Vista (Business
edition) Firewall Exceptions as a Program, not a Port. To clarify, when you look at the properties of the Groove (Program) Exception, it does not mention anything about ports. I know I can add an exception specifically for Port 2492 (Groove's primary communication port), but would that be redundant if the Program Exception for Groove already opens up that specific Port. Hope that makes sense. I had posted the same question in the Groove Discussion Group here - http://www.microsoft.com/communities...6-4c555df48526 but one of the Mods referred me to this group. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

User defined exceptions for the firewall? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...55(WS.10).aspx Use the control panel applet, or the plug-in.

So opening the port that the app uses manually with a specific port exception would be less secure since the "Program Exception" closes the port after the application is closed, correct?

That's how I understand it regarding a Vista compatible program setting its own exceptions. As for user defined exceptions for a program or a port, I'm not sure. IIRC there's a MSDN article that explains it pretty well, but my memory isn't as good as it used to be.
