Unable to telnet to port 139 and 445

[Guest Donny]

I'm unable to telnet to the filesharing ports 139 and 445 on my windows 2003

server. If I logon locally onto the server and telnet to that port, I'm still

unable to. Netstat -an also doesn't show that it's open. I tried to enable

Netbios of TCP/IP on the network settings but was still unable to telnet to

the ports. Is there a service which I have to start manually or something

which I have to install? What needs to be done for these ports to be open on

the server?

Do you have File Server role setup/installed on the Server? It should by

default auto open by itself, provided that you install the file Server role.

 

You can also open up RRAS, select NAT, open up the properties of your LAN,

and open the ports under Service tab.

 

:)

Could you please explain to me in detail step by step how to install the file

server role?

 

Also is there any other options?

Hey Donny,

 

What version of WIndows Server are you using? SBS or Standard or Enterprise?

 

If you are on WinServer SBS 03, pull up Server Manager and click Add Role.
