how to enable port 4040 on PIX 515

What command do you use to open port 4040 on the cisco pix

If you already have an access list on your outside interface, this could be blocking port 4040. An access list has an implicit (invisible) 'deny all' statement as its last line. If you have an access list allowing certain traffic, it will automatically deny anything else.

In that case, you would need to add something like this to your access list:

ACCESS-LIST [name of access list on outside interface] PERMIT TCP [or udp] ANY ANY EQ 4040

This tells the PIX to allow traffic from any source to any destination over TCP port 4040

Thanks, I tried what you suggested and it works
