What firewall are you using?  Also, with resetting IPSEC policies, I have
heard about that on another list.

Well I took the plunge and upgraded thethin.net servers to SP4.  I noticed a
few immediate problems.
1. it reset and cleared out all of my IPSec settings. I had to reset them
and put them back in and reboot again and reenable IPSec.

2. It appears to put SQL 2000 in a vulnerable state to Slammer as I started
getting attacked again on port 1433 big time and it was allowing packets in
and out through my firewall. (how 1433 got opened again in the firewall is
totally bizarre to me also) IPSec does not seem to be working properly as I
am only allowing Port 80, 21 and 25 and 1433 is still getting through?
WTF? Anyone else experience this?

Anyone have any ideas? It is a software firewall so I will probably have to
zero out the app settings and start from scratch again.

At least the webservices, SQL database and cold fusion made it through and
appear to be working properly.

JK
