Windows Firewall: How to allow traffic on port 8080?
- by Chadworthington
I am trying to configure team Foundation Server so that
1) it is accessible from within my Home Network
2) and then make the Web site access accessible via the Internet
I have a problem with point 1:
When I access http://192.168.1.106:8080/tfs/web/ locally from 192.168.1.106, it works.
When I access the same web site from another PC in my home network, the abive URL works only if I turn of the Firewall on 192.168.1.106.
Can someone please tell me specifically how to allow traffic on port 8080 without turning off Windows Firewall? It seems that the exceptions that I specify are intended for listing programs on the box that need to communicate out. Is IIS the program that I need to make the exception? How do I specify that port 8080 traffic should be allowed for web site traffic on this port?
I hope to have success with pt. 2 later but I figure (1) should be done first. I expect issues.
