Enable Port in Windows Firewall

Posted by on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 · 4 Comments 

Last time, I tried to setup a windows mail server. I manage to sent out, but failed to get any mail incoming. While I’m pulling my hair , then, I just realized, I forgot to enable port for incoming mail!! Ah.ha. (Don’t become like me).

Notes:
Below example was run under testing environment, using my favourite Desktop Virtualization Software “Virtual Box”. OS: Windows Server 2008.

1). Point to start menu and look for “Windows Firewall with Advance Security”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) . Select Inbound Rules from the Sub-Menu :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Select “Port” for the “Rule Type”. Proceed by clicking “Next”

4). Specify the port that you wanna enable. Then you are done.

    Hello Tony.

    I wasn’t sure. I’m not really Windows advocate lols. But I believe the port is closed by default.
    Cheers!!
