Hi there,<br />
<br />
You can add exceptions to the Windows Firewall to enable communication with any server type - you just need to work out which ports are required by the application you wish to connect through the firewall. &nbsp;You can usually find this information by googling the specific server application.<br />
<br />
Details on how to specifically configure your firewall with Server 2003, please see the following guide:<br />

Hi Afoot,<br />
<br />
Is there a way to add all ports open between servers in my subnet? <br />
<br />
netsh firewall add portopening protocol=tcp port=1-66354 name=DCOM_TCP135<br />
<br />
it appears that i can't use the syntax &quot;&nbsp;port=1-66354&quot;, i had to add the port one by one. this will just take too much time....<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
