I thought that in order to map a drive in Win2k, you needed TCP Port 139 open to the server. Is this not accurate?
I'm trying to connect to:
\\###.###.###.###\c$
###=ip address...
Can't get it to work, I know user accounts are valid.
Thoughts? |

| Open up 137/138/139 and you should be good to go. |

I can't even telnet to any of the open ports... Long pause, connection failed.
So, is there something in Win2k that needs to be turned on to respond to WAN-Based NetBIOS requests? I'm also using NAT. I'm 90% sure my firewall is passing the traffic to the server. |

And one more thing...I have drives mapped within the LAN (on these exact servers) with no issue.
I keep thinking it's a firewall thing, because I can't imagine what's wrong... But my config is solid, I've look at it 2784 times! 
Plus, I even opened up the holes on my Linksys home firewall and tried mapping from the server to me at home (reverse of what I want)...same issue. Nothing connects, not even using Telnet.
Thanks for any thoughts... |

| Also can you disable the firewall temporarily and then you'd probably be able to rule that out if it still doesnt work. |

Prompt? There's really no prompt when mapping a drive. You set the login, then hook it up. I have received a login-prompt when the username is malformed, though. For example, if I put "server/user" instead of "server\user" as the login, it will prompt me. All other's just time-out and give me an error.
Can't totally disable the firewall, as I'm running NAT on it. I've allowed all traffic though for a short while, however, and that didn't help any. |

| Doh hadn't though of RPC for some reason, you'll still need 137:139 and maybe 445 also for Browsing and file sharing though won't you ? |

Holy Wasted Time, Batman. Thanks for your help, however.
Finally dawned on me that my ISP (COX Cable) might be the culprit. Went on-line and found the blocked ports:
Port Transport Protocol Direction Reason for Filtering
25 TCP SMTP Both* SMTP Relays
80 TCP HTTP Inbound Web servers, worms
135 UDP NetBios Both Net Send Spam/Pop-ups, Worms
136-139 UDP, TCP NetBios Both Worms, Network Neighhood
445 TCP MS-DS/ NetBios Both Worms, Network Neighhood
1433 TCP MS-SQL Inbound Worms, Trojans
1434 UDP MS-SQL Inbound Worms, SQLslammer
1900 UDP MS-DS/ NetBios Both Worms, Network Neighhood
27374 TCP Subseven Both SubSeven Trojan
Is there any kind of work-around for this? My system needs to access a server via the internet by using a Drive Letter... I'm looking into SAMBA, but have no idea what it really is yet. Not even sure if it's built for Windows-Windows use. ANy other thoughts?
THanks... |
