Configuring firewall settings
Windows
Some operating systems including Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003
SBS implement a firewall that prevents browsers from accessing the ports required for the Version
Control Repository Manager access. To resolve this issue, configure the firewall with exceptions
to enable browsers to access the ports used by HP SIM and Version Control Repository Manager.
NOTE:
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, the firewall configuration leaves the default SP2
security enhancements intact, but enables traffic over the ports. These ports are required for the
Version Control Repository Manager to run. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable
proper communication with your browser.
To configure the firewall:
1.
Select Start
→Settings→Control Panel.
2.
To configure the firewall settings, double-click Windows Firewall.
3.
Select Exceptions.
4.
Click Add Port.
