Guest S. Pidgorny Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 In the Windows Firefall, you mean? The command is "netsh firewall add portopening ?" - that will display various options for opening ports using netsh. -- Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MS MVP - Security, MCSE -= F1 is the key =- http://sl.mvps.org http://msmvps.com/blogs/sp "MBordelon" <MBordelon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5FF600D7-4821-45C1-9248-3F06E39E5B94@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > What is the command or procedure for opening specific ports in Windows > Server > 2003? </span> Quote
Guest MBordelon Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 When I finally got the sytax correct, I get the mesage "The service has not been started". Is there a way to open a specific port when the firewall is turned off? "S. Pidgorny <MVP>" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > In the Windows Firefall, you mean?

Guest Steve Riley [MSFT] Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 There will be no need to "open ports" when the firewall is switched off. All listening ports will be able to receive incoming traffic in this case. -- Steve Riley steve.riley@microsoft.com http://blogs.technet.com/steriley http://www.protectyourwindowsnetwork.com "MBordelon" <MBordelon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:80FBBC34-614F-4700-89D3-FEB112E1F5B5@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > When I finally got the sytax correct, I get the mesage "The service has > not > been started".

Guest Daniel Petri Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I could be wrong but I think you mean "open a port" as in "configure the computer to start listening to that port". Am I correct? If so, in order to open a port you'll need to bind a listening service or application to it. You cannot just open ports, you need something to listen to that port. -- Sincerely, Daniel Petri MVP, Senior IT consultant, trainer www.petri.co.il "MBordelon" <MBordelon@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:80FBBC34-614F-4700-89D3-FEB112E1F5B5@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > When I finally got the sytax correct, I get the mesage "The service has > not > been started".
