Cygwin rsync and the Window XP SP2 firewall

I just tried it with port 80 on server and client but the error message 
is still displayed.

I did not expect it to change anything either since the firewall is not 
supposed to block outgoing connections at all. And as stated in my 
original post rsync works fine even though the Windows firewall reports 
that it has blocked it.


Best regards,
