Guest biff Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 When I go into the Windows Firewall to open up the firewall to allow IP addresses to connect to the server I see 4 ports listed under file and print sharing. The 4 ports are TCP 139, TCP 445, UDP 137, and UDP 138. How are these ports different? Would I need make client IP exceptions for all 4 of these ports for file sharing?
Guest Bill Grant Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: file and print port setup TCP 445 is all you need if you are running dns. It is the "direct hosting" port. The others are the Netbios ports and they are all required if file sharing is using Netbios names. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/204279 "biff" <biff@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:18A73444-E59C-416A-A2CD-5486B4F545FB@microsoft.com... > When I go into the Windows Firewall to open up the firewall to allow IP > addresses to connect to the server I see 4 ports listed under file and > print > sharing.
