+ | ======Open TCP Port 80 in Windows Firewall====== | ||
+ | > **Product: | ||
+ | > **Summary: | ||
+ | Zoo communicates with Rhino clients via TCP Port 80 (HTTP). | ||
+ | |||
+ | After installing the Zoo, you need to ensure that TCP Port 80 is open, for //both incoming and outgoing// communications, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** TCP Port 80 is open for outgoing communications by default in most firewall software. So you should not have to open any ports in the firewall software running on Rhino workstations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Steps===== | ||
+ | The following instructions are for opening TCP Port 80 in the Window Firewall -- the firewall software included with Windows. If you are using an alternate firewall, please consult their documentation. | ||
