* If the process uses more than 1024 ports, the number of ports probably will not change.

* If the process uses less than 1024 ports, the program may be using a range of ports. Therefore, opening individual ports may not reliably resolve the issue.

Arf Arf Arf!

What's the fuss? Switch the firewall off.

The fuss is that it's not only firewall passthru that's fubar'd, some programs just don't work at all after installing SP2, including some flavours of Office, hoho....

One reason wy I won't be getting into supporting Windows systems:

"A Windows security feature has detected a problem and closed this program."

Yes, I know how to bulid an exception list. But can you imagine having to support this sack de crap? Pray your Dell doesn't have a real mishap, because their support staff are going to be buried by unsuspecting XP users who turned on automatic updates.
