Unlocking and opening ports?

On the installation of google earth, Windows Firewall has blocked some features of the program.  Then it asks me if I want to unblock this program.  It offers assistance to understand the risks if you unblock.  But the answers speak "what happens if you open a port" and he speaks of "create an exception or open a port.   But it does not mention what happens if I select "unblock this program."  Like is it the same as opening a port?  or unlock open all ports?   or what?

No explanation of any person who knows how to keep consistent terminology (other than MS Windows 'staff') will be appreciated.

If you select unlock Google earth creates two inbound firewall rules.
The two rules are called Google Earth
Both allow to program C:\program files\google\google earth\client\googleearth.exe
Both allow to any port and an address
A rule is used in TCP protocol
The other rule allow the UDP protocol

  • open ports 80 and 443, is my PC security?

    Port number Description Keyword
    80/TCP World Wide Web HTTP http
    443/TCP http over TLS/SSL protocol HTTPS

    After trying firewall, I find 2 numbers of open ports, is my PC securitied?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Yes, like the said keyword, port 80 is http, for to go you, so if it wasn't open, you wouldn't be able to browse the web Web sites. Look at the URL of this page,

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-security/open-80-and-443-ports-is-my-PC-securited/a1b2c95c-f8e3-4151-864f-4fffeb2b7c0c?page=1&TM=1316136754158#footer

    Notice the http at the beginning?

    And port 443 is the same as 80, but it is a secure version, for all sites where security is a problem, for example when connected to hotmail, Bank, paypal or many other sites where you sign in.

  • Windows 7 64 - bit open TCP and UDP ports

    Well im clearly online but when I open original (battlefield 3) that it says im offline, so I spoke with the original technology and they gave me 2 hours of bs to do and then he said that I had to open the ports and they sent me a link for 32 bit windows (https://help.ea.com/article/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues.) I told them I did not 'my network places' and they didn't know why... I told them it was 64-bit another 5 - 6 times and they kept on trying to make me do the 32-bit installation. idk why. but in any case, I searched google and could not find an answer that is not covered in random bs or my 64-bit windows did not have this which is suppose to be on the list.

    Step 3 is not there? I got a list or change the settings of the licensed features... He didn't add the port!

    for example

    Method 2: Configure your system to allow access to the game servers. The firewall or the router must allow unrestricted communication on TCP and UDP Port number 3724. World of Warcraft (WoW) game client uses TCP whereas Voice Chat features use UDP. To open a port in Windows Firewall:

    1. open the Windows Firewall by clicking Start , clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking on Windows Firewall.

    2. click allow a program through Windows Firewall.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. click on the port of Add. {THIS ISN'T ON MY PC}

    4. in the name box, type a name that will help you remember what the port is used.

    5. in the Port number box, type the port number IE 3724

    6. click on TCP or UDP, depending on the Protocol.

    7. to change the scope of the port, click Change scope, and then click the option that you want to use. ("Scope" refers to the set of computers that can use this port opening).

    So im hoping you guys can link me to a up to this way to change the ports that will be on my windows 7 64 bit

  • AirPort Extreme open ports

    I used my iPhone to scan my home network using AirPort Extreme. I found 3 open ports on the extreme of the airport as follows:

    53 dns

    5009 apple airport admin wap

    10000 web webmin Linux admin tool based on

    Here is the screenshot

    I'm a super newbie to the airport. I would like to ask what is the 10000 port for? Why is there a Linux administration tool in an apple product?

    This is an excellent reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202944

    And more generic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

    Note that ports above 1023 including 10000 could be anything and should generally not be worried.  It seems that 10000 is for example used for VoIP call.  So, being identified as Webmin is probably a false decision simply because who uses also 10000.

  • Open ports on the AirPort Extreme 7.7.7

    I wonder how to open ports on the AirPort Extreme version 7.7.7.

    I spoke to Microsoft some ports I need to open for my Xbox and have the list of ports. I'm looking for how to do this. I have no experience with this sort of thing and I know that I can do in the AirPort Utility application, but I don't want to mess with all that I wouldn't have to. I tried to search online for this guides and I can't find anything that is recent. When I watch videos, everything is a little different and the interface is not quite the same more so any help is appreciated.

    I got this Tip for the user of an airport for this situation. Check it out and see if this helps you.

  • Porting to ARM LM3S811, PWM and serial port issues

    Read my previous post: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=420&thread.id=1996

    I have problems again, I

    OK, here's the solution.

    Open 'startup.s '.

    Goto line 193:

    ; set the system clock to run at 50 MHz
    ; SysCtlClockSet(SYSCTL_SYSDIV_4 |) SYSCTL_USE_PLL |
    ;                SYSCTL_XTAL_8MHZ | SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN);

    LDR R0 = 0X01C002C0
    BL SysCtlClockSet

    B __main

    Replace R0, with the right values in "sysctl.h" line 236:

    in my case the value of the 6 Mhz Crystal which is "0x000002C0".

    Calendar of PWM is restored and serial port works fine now.

  • How can I find my external and internal port number

    I am trying to access the internet via a live ethernet cable from my router, except the computer im trying to use is new to the House, but is under xp. I also have a laptop which I use to ask these questions, which accesses the internet via a wireless connection. I open 'Internet Properties' and entered my IP address and I am now looking for my external and internal port numbers try to connect. Is it and most easy way? I'm on the right track? Help, please. :)

    If you really have a router, then this router should affect your computer all the configuration settings that it needs to connect to the internet (or local) automatically via DHCP.  The "TCP/IP properties" correct settings on your computer must be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  If your router is configured correctly, it will automatically load these settings, such as all you need to do is to connect your computer to your router.  If this does not work, then you must download the manual of your router and verify its configuration.

  • open ports to prevent blocking of communicate with the firewall network

    I'm putting in place an at & t 3 g microcell to improve my cell phone home reception. He did not yet.the next step tells me toopen the following ports to prevent the firewall to block communication with the network.

    123/udp

    443/tcp

    4500/udp

    500/udp

    4500/udp

    This device connects directly to your router, so these directions mean probably you need to open these ports in your router firewall.  To help you on this subject, you will have to identify the make and model of your router.  Please do not guess; Look at the label on the device - and include any number of version mentioned on the label.

    It is also important to provide a link to the source of these directions, whereas user manualdirections to put in place the AT & T 3 G Microcell includes any discussion at all on "open ports".

    If you do not have a link but that someone has sent you an e-mail or a document with these indications, copy and paste them into your next response here, so we will have a better idea of what could be the issue.

  • CQ62-410US stuck with "Several monitor - Clone View" and VGA port does not

    Hello!

    I have a Compaq CQ62-410US computer laptop with an Intel GMA 4500 M (onboard) video card and a port output VGA, Windows 7 x 64 operating system. A few weeks back the screen was broken (kick straight punch of a child) and nothing could be transmitted via the VGA output either, but the laptop booted and I could hear the sound of Windows 7 logon. I never checked before the VGA output port.
    Yesterday, I replaced the screen broke up with and identical. The fine (full-screen) display in case of back work (boot from USB Flash and the sea + test images), but in Windows 7, two vertical black stripes appeared on the sides because lower than the native resolution. The resolution can be changed at native 1366 x 768 "Screen resolution" because the display is set by default to "Multiple monitors" (I have no other monitor connected, only the built-in screen) and "display of Clone. The built-in display is set as secondary and 'Generic non - PnP' is defined as primary. Any attempt to set the integrated display as primary function or to change the mode "display single" / "Extend view" leads to a black screen with the backlight always on, no matter where I change the settings - in the 'screen Resolution' or 'Graphic properties' (from driver Intel). In the 'Screen Resolution' window the pictogram of the screens show a single screen split in two, and when I press the button "Identify" it shows on the screen ' 1 | 2 ", as you left half of the screen is the main display and half right is the secondary display.
    I put a Philips monitor to the VGA port, Windows detects and installs the appropriate driver, but there is no picture any of mode I put - Clone, Extend, unique display - monitor.
    I tested 3 view of the site of Compaq drivers for my device and the GMA 4500 M drivers from Intel, but the problem is the same (with the drivers from the site intel, on I get only black screen with backlighting.) Pilots are unstable, sometimes at the opening session, page is only a black screen (but before the windows loading screen appear very well) that cannot be changed by "Fn + F4" / "F4" (change view) but a black with the backlight is turned off.
    Due to the replacement of the hard disk, I can't use restore of the operating system that is installed at the factory.
    Please advise me how to solve the display problem and enable the port VGA (get the image on the external monitor).
    Thank you in advance.
    SSM there is not output through the VGA input even at the BIOS screen (no material or to issue independent of the operating system support?).

    I have attached a screenshot.

    Update: I started a live Knoppix CD, and I don't find any problem - unique in 1366 x 768 display configuration; I could even play a game in 3D (OpenGL). While hanging from one monitor to the VGA port, it was found, but when trying to print image to it the OS hung. I guess it's a hardware problem, something to do with the video controller.

    I thought about it, it's the GPU, I think that some of the contacts are damaged. Today even in the BIOS screen I see in the middle of the screen a vertical thin purple line which was bounded two screens on a single screen, and all now have a purple tint.

    I had a quick glance at the GPU and surprise - it is glued to the motherboard, no sleeve, no welding. The motherboard chipset is also stuck.

    See the attached images.

    Thank you for the excellent support. I will never buy anything with Compaq logo on it.

  • Open port on e4200

    An external analysis lambasted that I have an open port. For security reasons, I want to close it. How can I go about it. I don't know the port number.

    Have the port 2420, you forwarded on your router? To double-check, you can access the router configuration page (to get instructions on how to access the page of the router, you can refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=3d655af76e21457fa8b71a0c3a2a0c9c_3676.xml&pid=80&r...). Once on the configuration page, click on the Applications & Gaming tab, then check the sub-tabs under it (see screenshot below):

    Then check the SubTabs: simple Port Forwarding, triggering Serial Port and Port Range Forwarding so port 2420 is transmitted/triggered. Also, make sure that the DMZ is disabled.
