Will this help any?

http://www.petri.co.il/what's_port_445_in_w2k_xp_2003.htm

From what I gather, it is usually universal that ports 137-139 is
blocked because they are always used for attacks and the such. I'm not
well versed on changing ports and the such. Sorry! :-(

to say:

Rah> Hi group,
Rah> 
Rah> I have a W2K server at a remote location that I'm renting off a Web hosting
Rah> company.  This server is connected directly to the Internet without any
Rah> firewall in front of it or anything.  I'm unable to map a drive to this
Rah> computer over the Internet, and I think I've come to the conclusion that
Rah> it's because my home ISP (Comcast) is blocking ports 137-139 (are they the
Rah> ones?).  Here is the setup that I had on the remote server while trying to
Rah> do this, which I ~think~ should be fine:
Rah> 
Rah> -Installed an enabled protocols:
Rah>  Client for MS Networks
Rah>  File and printer sharing for MS Networks
Rah>  NetBEUI
Rah>  TCP/IP 
Rah>   - TCP/IP Filtering - all,all,all
Rah>   - All IP Sec policies Unassigned
Rah>   - Enable netbios over tcp/ip: ON (matters?)
Rah> 
Rah> -Server service started
Rah> 
Rah> 
Rah> Questions:
Rah> 1.  Does this setup seem like it should work, or am I forgetting something?
Rah> 
Rah> 2.  If my ISP does have these ports blocked, does anyone know of a way to
Rah> change the port(s) that Windows uses for hosting file shares?
Rah> 
Rah> Thanks,
Rah> 
Rah> Ray at home
