<DIV>I have used commands like this in a BAT file:</DIV>

<DIV>echo -- Opening Port for Remote Control<BR>netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 5990 name = HelpDesk mode =<BR> ENABLE scope = CUSTOM addresses=192.168.0.0/16,172.17.0.0/16</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Which allows connections to port 5590 from 2 subnets.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For VBS examples, take a look at</DIV>

Is there a VB script<BR>or other method I can use for this purpose? I use a signed Java applet to<BR>download, install, and execute stunnel, but can insert a step to run a VB<BR>or other script on the host prior. I suspect the stunnel installer may do<BR>this already, but after looking, did not see anything.<BR><BR>Thank you<BR><BR>> You can add the required firewall exceptions as part
of your installation<BR>> tasks. You just need to allow connections to the incoming port(s) your<BR>> stunnel config use.<BR>><BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
