Jay,
I have used commands like this in a BAT file:
echo -- Opening Port for Remote Control netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 5990 name = HelpDesk mode = ENABLE scope = CUSTOM addresses=192.168.0.0/16,172.17.0.0/16
Which allows connections to port 5590 from 2 subnets.
For VBS examples, take a look at http://www.activexperts.com/activmonitor/windowsmanagement/scripts/networkin...
which looks excellent.

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