Network: Opening ports for client access, how?

[Pedster]

I'm banging my head here.......Ok,heres my problem:

ZAP is only installed on the gateway PC.... I have a simple peer-2-peer network (both running Win 2k Pro), with ICS......... Everything works fine..........until I run a program on the client PC, such as Overnet (p2p) that needs open ports...... Now I hear you say "Use the expert rules", yes I tried this already, however it still blocks ports 4662(TCP) and 5171(UDP).......... Overnet tells me that I'm "firewalled" on the client PC, but it runs okay on gateway PC - this is because I've allowed it to connect to the net, thus automatically opening the ports....... Also, if I'm running Overnet on both the gateway and client PC's, it says I'm not firewalled, which is great, but I dont want to reboot the gateway every 24 hours....

So, how can I open these ports on my LAN PC??

Operating System: Windows 2000 Pro
Product Name: ZoneAlarm Pro
Software Version: 4.0

I think you're problem is stemming from ICS... you say you've used the expert rules and such to allow traffic thru ZAP, but have you also forwarded them in ICS?

As for how to do that, I'd recommend checking Google:

Best of luck.
