David,
Port 443 is used for secure http connections, so this makes perfect
sense. Go ahead and allow both port 80 and 443 through the firewall.
Regards,
Steve

Just to have something clarified here. When I recently installed a new
firewall on my computer, it actually asked for Window-Eyes, to have the
rights on both port 80, and I think it was 443. According to what you
said, should the only one being let through for WE be port 80? Or, is
there any other part of WE, i.e some apps, that would require port 443?
It did not specify anything more, than the fact that WE was trying to
communicate on port 443. Well, it did tell me if it was an outgoing, or
incoming port call, but see if I remember that part at the moment.
Thanks if you could throw some light on this one.

Hello Davy,
Our app retrieval process uses standard HTTP over port 80, so as long
as wineyes.exe is allowed to communicate over this port, everything
should work fine.

Hey folks
At work I am behind a firewall, so I cannot update my apps, I get an
error message that the connection to the gw Server could not be found. I
know this is not a GW or Wineyes problem! But what can I do to prevent
this. Is there a port that must be openend or can someone of the GW
staff give me a link with which the updates are provided so that our IT
managers can set that link free for me in the firewall settings so that
I can have automatic updates of App Get and others? At home, I have no
problems at all updating apps.
Best regards
Davy
