My apologies for not clarifying which version of 7 you were running. I am a bonehead and apparently not all versions give access to "Add Ports".
There is a work-around.
Do the Start-->Control Panel-->Sysetm and Security thing again.
Click on Windows Firewall.
Click on "Advanced Settings" (over on the left-side).
On the left side of the page in the frame, click on "Inbound Rules", then go over to the right-side of the page there under "Actions", click on "New Rule" in the right-hand frame.
Sadly, this will open a Windows Wizard, but there's no help for that.
There under "What type of rule would you like to create?", you want to click on "Port" and click next.
Make sure the radio button next to TCP is checked.
In the box marked "Specific Local Ports", type 4060 and hit next.
Choose "Allow Connection" and hit next.
Choose the network type(s) you want under "When does this profile apply" and hit next
Type in whatever you want to call the rule in the box marked "Name" and you can put a longer description if you like in the box cleverly marked "Description" and hit Finish.
As I fling myself on your mercy, my only defense is that I rarely touch the Windows 7 box. it mainly sits in the corner, surrounded by a long rope made of garlic.
