use any firewall to open the port for you.donno much about windows,but zonealarm or comodo etc will allow opening the port.

To open port in Window XP ,
go to control panel
click on windows firewall
then go to "exceptions " button
then click on Add port
name= give name of application (your trading software or browser)
port = 8123
click on TCP and then ok
again add port
name and port number as above
but last click UDP button and ok
done

@bonny:when an external firewall app is used,windows firewall will be disabled,I think
