4. On the Rule Type page, choose Port, and then choose the Next button.

5. On the Protocol and Ports page, choose Specific local ports, and then enter the port number. For example, enter 8080 for the default port of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

6. Choose the Next button.

7. On the Action page, choose Allow the connection, and then choose the Next button.
