Probably an easy answer.
NIS 2011
Vista SP2
IE 8 browser

some may know I had remove internet explorer from the program rules to let those particular rules reset. Well they did. Outbound port 80 and Port 53. all makes most sense.
But yesterday I noticed an outbound rule created the used port 1935. I googled port 1935 and saw something about flash messaging (?). not sure what that means.
But wondering if to the trained eyes, doed internet explorer connecting out bound to port 1935 sound normal?

Yes, the Flash Player uses port 1935 to send requests back to the server, and both IE and non-IE browsers have their own Flash Players as plugins, so the creation of this rule is normal and correct whenever the Flash Player first runs through the browser.

Flash Media Server listens for RTMP/E requests on port 1935/TCP. Flash Player and AIR clients attempt to connect over ports in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).

No, thank you both for replying : )

Jenna23 read the link you sent. Not sure if I understand though. Is this for like messaging or for flash player video?
Like if I open my IE8. then go to a web page. and say that webpage has a video that uses flash player. so if I click on the video does it send out to and connect to that content through port 1935? Or is that 1935 just if I used some instant message type function?

Yep.

Flash Player attempts to connect over 1935. If a connection is not made, Flash Player attempts to connect using port 80, and then port 443.

Cool. So despite the name Real Time Messaging Protocol, its not just messaging but video content too, right?

or Am I confusing video with "messaging" function?
