I have my network very well locked down. Enough so that I am fairly sure it
is what is causing all my beta reports just to sit in the 'Microsoft File
Transfer Manager' dealy.

Can anyone point me at protocol specs, or just more information, so I can
actually contribute to the beta program?

TIA
Eric

Can't you just make a program exception in the Security Center/Firewall for
the File Transfer manager? You should be able to browse for the program and
add it to the list.

I don't believe my problem to be the firewall on the machine, I'm certain
that microsoft has thought of that. My problem is I have a big mean
firewall sitting between my network and the internet, and it only lets out
what I tell it too. So really I'm just trying to figure out what ports to
open outward to let the "Microsoft File Transfer Manager" talk to the
mothership.

I don't know about MS 'thinking about it.' If you haven't seen how
thoroughly locked down Longhorn Server is, you haven't seen locked down.
Vista is pretty locked down and the FTP manager would be a big vulnerability
point.
