No, it uses port 80, it his a HTTP request after all, but it likely has no authentication. When you connect directly with your browser, the browser can pass along your authentication from your computer when you booted up. This is especially true in windows environments. Since this is all done in the background, it is not very visible to you.
But the ColdFusion service that tries to make this request does not have any of these authentications. So, there is a good chance the firewall is blocking the CF service as an unauthorized user. You should be able to get around this by going into the services administration and giving the CF service a specific user that has the appropriate permissions to get through the fire wall. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
