Hello Experts. I'm using a dedicated windows 2003 server from <a href="http://www.1and1.com" rel="ugc">www.1and1.com</a>. The package comes with some preset security settings on ipsec--mainly that opens ports for web &amp;&nbsp;ftp, and remote desktop connection. But, in addition to those ports, I need to open ports 9999 &amp;&nbsp;8082, for a couple java chat server jar files to use. &nbsp;I've spent countless hours trying to figure out how to open those ports, without any success. I hope there's an Expert here that will be kind enough to educate me on this.<br />
<br />
Many kind thanks in advance,<br />
John

How to open ports via ipsec

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
