Firewall Wizards: Re: trusted & untrusted ports

["Monkey Boy" <hydra291 () hotmail com>]

Hello Hilal, I am a little confused here. It is the application which opens 
a socket to respond to a request recieved from a client. . You can configure 
your f/w to allow connections on certain ports, as well depending on the 
granularity offered by your firewall, which I believe is what your getting 
at here.  Secondly I don't understand what you mean by trusted vs. untrusted 
ports? Can you elaborate further please. Thirdly all applications to my 
knowledge use the client server model of communication.
regards,

Don Parker
