win2003 firewall

when i turn on the firwall on my win2003 server it blocks people from using
roaming profiles,
what exception and ports must i allow?

Many thanks

You must at least allow the RPC and NetBIOS ports (135, 137, 138,139 and
445).

 

I added the ports but didnt get anywhere, is port 445 udp?

 

I added the ports but didn't get anywhere, is port 445 udp?

Hmmm....I don't think it's port 445 after all. Do you have these allowed?

UDP:137,138
TCP:139

 

yeah, and they are already open under "file and print sharing"

 

Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled?

 

Not sure, How do i enable that please?

 

It's under the properties of the network connection, General tab.

 

No its not there, looked at all the protocols and service but cant find it to
install.

 

On XP, and thus probably on 2K3 though I don't have one to hand, it under:
Local Area Connection Properties
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
Advanced
WINS tab

Generally Default should work, but you might want to test it with "Enable",
just try putting it back to "Default" after you've got everything working.

J.T.

 

Take properties of your LAN card here again click the Properties tab ->
select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click properties -> Advanced -> WINS
here you will find the option to Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP

 

Brilliant thanks. Sorry i should have known that but i havent needed to touch
anything to do with windows networks in years, Thanks

 

Still cant login to my domain when the firwall is active on the windows
firewall page at the bottom it says "windows firewall is using non-domain
settings". i have the following exceptions...

file sharing
remote desktop
upnp framework

all of which are checked

i opened a port on 135 tcp and named in rpc. Any other ideas?
