O&O Defrag

Here's a snip of the tcpview screen when I start O&O. At least on mine it's using more then just 50300...

So you're using Outpost for your firewall? Are you using a second firewall? Just had to ask....

No...except the firewall function of my router. Windows firewall is turned off. Unless the previous installation of F-Secure, which I uninstalled is still involved.

Tcpview screen? Where are you finding this?

It's one of the sysinternals utilities from microsoft:

Sysinternals Suite

Hi Seekermeister,

Your firewall is blocking it.

Open port 50300 and you should be good to go.

When I view application rules, I find the settings as shown previously, but when I simply view the used ports in OutPost's main window, it says that there is no rule. I find this quite confusing, how can a rule be set, but no rule listed?

While I did see PortMon listed among the tools in that suite, I'm not certain if that is the reason that you linked it? I think that my firewall is suffcient for port monitoring...if my understanding of it were keener than it is. Is there some other tool in the suite that you had in mind?

That's where I got tcpview.

I ran it to see what ports O&O uses on my system when running. I'm not sure the info will help with your problem at all. If F-Secure is still partially installed and you can't change it's settings then knowing the ports probably doesn't help.

curious, is O&O linked to a server on your network? or is it needing to access the port to call home to verify a serial # or something?

No, as far as I know, it is not linked to anything. I have no idea of why it appears as it does.

No phoning home involved I just snipped the info on O&O so it's missing the headings. It's all local connections that the software is communicating through. Jake-XII is the computers name so it's communicating through ports 50300, 54589, and 49657.
