Opening Socket from Web Service

[Tarun Malik]

Hi,

I have created a .NET assembly and it uses System.Net.Socket to open a
connection to system outside our network. To Test this I created a .NET
Windows Form Client which consumed the assembly and installed a Firewall
Client, it worked fine and I was able to open a connection.

When I consume this assembly from Webservice running on the same machine It
fails as it does not use the firewall client. To make this work from
webservice I had to configuration changes in Pix by opening the port. Can
someone tell me how to enable webservice to use the local firewall client
installed in that machine just like client was using so that we not have to
make configuration changes in the firewall pix.
