But I tend to agree shut them all off and open only the ones you require.

Hi all

Could someone please advise me on how and what ports do I have to shutdown
for a Microsoft Wintendo 2000 server.
If anyone has a link, URL, doc, etc to advise me, it would be soo
apprecaited

On my linux box I run and port scan and these are what I found (Quite scary
actually, im soo glad that into Linux)



The general concensus is close everything, then open only what you
need.  Also, if you don't know what it is, close it.
