Hi Sorin

It could be 135 The "end-point mapper". RPC services are assigned other
ports dynamically. When trying to connect to a service, you go through this
mapper to discover where it is located. The process works the same as on the
UNIX RPC portmapper. A big difference is that a lot of services run on top
of named pipes, which don't have a specific port.  

To my knowledge 137 is the important one for Netbios datagrams used for
Network Neighbourhood but you have that open so....

Cheers
Dan

Subject: [windows2000] Adding firewall to xp-box


Hi list,

I used an old PII/266 to install Smoothwall (which is running
linux, yes I know...) for protecting my admin winxp-box. After
setting upp rules to allow for DNS-connections and dito for our
DCc, it now seems like it's working fine. Except for one thing -  I
can't browse our domain/network using "My Network Places". Mapping
drives etc works fine, but one only thing doesn't.

Would anybody know why? Are particular ports associated with
browsing a network, as I opened ports 389 (to the DCs), ports
137-138 (for other non-DCs i have mapped), port 53 (to the uni
AD-DNSes). Anything else I need to open to allow for network
browsing??

TIA.

BW,

Sorin
