Server 2003 RRAS basic firewall exceptions via command line?

I looked around and found that you can edit the basic Server 2003
Windows firewall via command line netsh, but that does not apply when
you are using RRAS on the system. I want to block all but a range of
ports, but unfortunately the GUI does not allow for easy addition of a
port range; instead you have to add each port individually. Is there a
way that I'm missing to add a port range (I don't really want to put
almost 50 ports in by hand, giving each it's own name), or a way to add
these exceptions via command line so that I can do a batch script?
Thanks for any info..

Dan

Dan,

There is a fantastic book that describes this process. It is called
Windows Server 2003 Networking Recipes. Check it out at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159...587323?ie=UTF8

(...and in the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the authors,
though I did not write that particular chapter.)

Yours,
Brad Dinerman
