1. From the Windows Start menu, launch the Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, select Windows Firewall. If Windows Firewall is not shown, select
Security Center and then select Windows Firewall.
3. In the Windows Firewall dialog, select the Exception tab and then click Add Port....
4. In the Add a Port dialog, enter a name for the Storage Server, e.g., 'VK-64 Storage
Server'.
Enter the Port number as '80'. Make sure the TCP protocol is selected and click OK.
