VMWare Workstation 6.0 not Recognizing USB devices#

I ran into an interesting issue yesterday, usb devices were not showing up in my VM.  I decided to disable the Windows Firewall and it started working.  Next I  brought up TCPView and saw that tcp ports 49515 and 49516 were being used by VMWare Workstation.  In the Windows Firewall Exceptions I added the ports and the VMWare Workstation program and everything works with the firewall turned back on.  Problem solved!
