Configure windows to not block ports

Hi all,

 

I have a program that communicates with another program on a different computer using TCP/IP, port 2055. It usually works great. However, in some computers the firewall blocks the port, or they have an antivirus that blocks the port, or an anti-malware program, etc. This was hell to debug as it simply blocks the connection every once in a while so that the program worked well except for when it didn't. In the end we found the problem by uninstalling all the antivirus and malware programs and checking numerous connections.

 

My question is, is there some way to configure windows registries so that all these programs know that port 2056 is legitimate? Otherwise at every customer we have to check all their other programs and uninstall or configure them separately. Is there some automatic way to solve this problem?

 

Thanks,

Danielle
