This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
But if you must, I think you'll find r-k has identified the ports you need for simple file and print sharing. But you'll need to add in a few more if you're using Active Directory / DNS / DHCP.
RATHER than this, see if the software will let you open *all* ports to any PCon your local network.
If you're putting this s/w on because the Windows server is connected directly to the internet - well don't, get a firewall appliance or use a router with built in firewall.
