+======Open TCP Port 80 in Windows Firewall======
+> **Product:** //[[zoo:home|Zoo]]//
+> **Summary:** //Demonstrates how to open TCP Port 80 in the Windows firewall//
+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, in the firewall software running on the Zoo server system.
+**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.
+**Note:** The Zoo installer opens the Windows Firewall to the Zoo service on port 80 for the local subnet only. If your workstations are on other subnets, you will need to change the Windows Firewall Service “Scope” property to allow all other subnets that need access.
+===== 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.
+> <color red>**Important: It is not adequate to open the port's inbound and outbound traffic for just the program or the service. You must create __Port__ rules as directed below in Step 6, or it will __not__ work**. </color>
+. From the Windows Start menu, open **Control Panel**.
+. Select **Windows Firewall**.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-1.png?640}}
+. Select **Advanced settings** in the left column of the Windows Firewall window.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-2.png?640}}
+. Select **Inbound Rules** in the left column of the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-3.png?640}}
+. Select **New Rule** in the right column.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-4.png?640}}
+. Select **Port** in the New Inbound Rule Wizard and then click **Next**.
+//**Note:** Do not create a **Program** rule -- you must create a **Port** rule.//
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-5.png?640}}
+. Select which protocol this rule will apply to **TCP**, select **Specific local ports**, type port number **80**, and then click **Next**.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-6.png?640}}
+. Select **Allow the connection** and then click **Next**.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-7.png?640}}
+. Select when this rule applies (check all of them for the port to always stay open) and then click **Next**.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-8.png?640}}
+. Give this rule a name and then click **Finish** to add the new rule.
+{{:zoo:open-port-windows-7-firewall-9.png?640}}
+TCP Port 80 is now open and ready to be used.
