Opening ports for Windows computers...

Hi Everyone! This is my first post on the official forums!
I am currently sharing my internet connection (ethernet) through my Macbook wirelessly to my windows PC.
It all works very well as long as just use port 80 for simple web-surfing but whenever i use programs (Steam and Bittorrent) that use other ports i don't seem to get a connection.
The firewall in my Macbook is turned off...
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kalle... & Welcome to the Discussions!
You might need to open ports on any Roiter the Mac is connected to, but you didn't mention such a thing...

Need solution for solving TIME_WAIT in TCP/IP ports in Windows Server 2008 Standard Service Pack 2

In one of our windows machine( OS : Windows Server 2008 Standard (Service Pack 2)-32bit), we are facing TIME_WAIT in all the TCP/IP ports and it is not getting closed.
On analyzing the issue, we found solution for this from the below link,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2553549
In this page, we are able to get the hotfix for Windows Server2008 R2 SP1 but i can't able to get for Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2(32bit). If we try to apply the hotfix vailable for SP1, it is showing "The update does not apply to your System".
Kindly provide us the solution for solving TIME_WAIT issue in the machine.
OS Details : Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard
Version : 6.0.6002 SP2 Build 6002
System Type : 32 bit(x86-based PC)
Awaiting for the response.
Thank you,

NO OPEN PORT in Windows XP

Hi all,
i try to look all the open port of my computer with socket, but neither is open!!! How is possible?
I would to look the computer connected to my LAN, and to do so i have think to look at the echo port... but neither...
the code is:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class LowPortScanner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    String host = "localhost";
    if (args.length > 0) {
      host = args[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++) {
         System.out.println("Try " +i);
      try {
        Socket s = new Socket(host, i);
        System.out.println("There is a server on port " + i + " of "
         + host);
      catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
        System.err.println(ex);
        break;
      catch (IOException ex) {
        // must not be a server on this port
    } // end for
} // end main
} // end PortScannerThanks a lot
bye

Port does not necessarily mean Socket.
Socket is TCP. Port applies to both TCP and UDP.
And one way isReachable() works is to use ICMP which is kind of odd and doesn't really fit into TCP nor UDP.
I am not confident that either of the ports that you listed are TCP. (Could be but I don't have the documentation here to look it up.)
OSes (including current windows ones) have a command that will list the ports in use on a computer and the type of usage. You should run the appropriate command and see what it says.

New W520 & Open Ports

I just bought a new W520. I was testing the Norton Firewall and running port scans against the machine. I noticed some open ports so I did a recovery to factory condition. I ran the port scan again and see a number of ports (25, 80, 110, 8080 - if memory serves correct). I telnet to the ports and they respond but the is no visiable text so it is difficult to figure out what is running. I've tried using Tcpview and other tools to view the open ports via Windows 7, but I don't see those ports listening. I am wondering if there are some Lenovo tools/utilities that use these ports? I may just be paranoid
Thanks!

I decided to break out the big guns. I ran a Nessus scan and NMAP againts my W520. The same ports weren't open when compared to the scan by Advanced Port Scan by RAdmin. These are the results of nmap which mirror the open ports Nessus found. Keep in mind, I had the firewall turned off since I am testing Bitdefender's Internet Security 2012. I used TCPViiew to link the process to these ports and found:
135
139
443 - VMWare Worksation
445
902 - VMWare Workstation
912 - VMWare Workstation
5357 - svchost.exe
49152 - wininit.exe
49153 - wininit.exe
49154 - wininit.exe
49155 - wininit.exe
49165 - wininit.exe
When I enable the firewall, none of the ports are visable. I am looking at using the BitDefender or Kaspersky's Internet Security Suites. Thoughts from other security folks appreciated!

Downgrade Windows Server 2012 License to WIndows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I'm looking to downgrade a windows server 2012 open license to windows server 2008 r2.
Thing is i do not have an existing windows server 2008 r2 VLK.
Can anyone confirm that this downgrade is possible, as clearinghouse is not helping by telling me that i can't buy windows server 2008 r2 licenses

Clearinghouse is right in stating you can't buy Windows Server 2008 R2
licenses anymore.
You'll need a Windows Server 2008 R2 disk kit and product key. They'll sell those to you, since you already own a license that allows you to install and use the software as part of your Windows Server 2012 license.

Windows Server 2008 opening ports for sql

Hello we upgraded our server from 2003 to 2008 and we are trying to open up the ports for the sql server and reporting services so the users can access both database and report manager from their desk. we only have one location so its not like we
need people from different locations accessing it. but for some reason the users still cant access the database even after opening ports 1433 and 80. Can anyone help please

Hi
Can you explain why does he need turn off the firewall on prod. server? Running SQL
Browser service make sense if we use named instance, the OP did not mention that. Moreover if we enable SQL Browser
service we probably need to add UDP port 1434 to the firewall.

Admin Commands issue on Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit

Hi,
I have tried exactly same process on FMS3.5 Installed on Centos and it worked perfectly.
But not working in case of Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit.
Here is what i am trying to do -
Basically i want to extract live streams list and display them in HTML as ordered list on another server them FMS.
What i did in the case of FMS on Centos server -
I installed Apache and PHP on this server and created a PHP file with following text in it. -
abc.php
   $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://<fms-server-ip>:1111/admin/getLiveStreams?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst=live','Simple XMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
foreach($xml->children() as $child)
   foreach($child->children() as $child2)
          echo $child2 . ",";
and in hosting server where i want to display the list i entered following code in PHP file -
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://<fms-server-ip>/abc.php');
echo $homepage;
i got comma seperated values easily and everything is loading fast without any issue.
Now problem occured with Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 64Bit.
I installed FMS, Apache and PHP in this server also, did evrything in the same way like in centos.
FMS, APache and PHP files are working fine in this.
But only problem occured when in abc.php i use
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://<fms-server-ip>:1111/admin/getLiveStreams?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst=live','Simple XMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
After this file do not loads and takes longer time to load and after some time a blank page appears. It works fine with a local XML file.
i am able to see the XML file by opening it directly in browser, but somehow this is not working with   simplexml_load_file. I dont think this is PHP issue because with local XML file it works fine. May be some port issue or something else. But i am able to view XML file directly in browser from another computers as well.
Kindly help, is there some other configurations should be changed in case of windows version. I have allowed admin commands as usual before doing all this. Ports 1111,80,1935 are also opened.
Please guide

Hi,
Yes in Browser, the response is perfect. The only issue is in Calling inside in any file, i even tried Javascript's XML dom to load it, but same result, the file is just loading and never loads completely. I also tried using an SWF file with AS3 code to load XML inside as3 and send the result to any JS function.
The output comes using trace in as3, but when it comes to browser, the same loading happends and result never loads.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

CA web enrollment page is not shown in windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition

hi friends
on a windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter, i have installed ADCS (including web enrollment), & every thing is ok.
but when i connect to CA web enrollment page to request a certificate for my web server, when i select advanced certificate request, system doesn't show the page which we select which register our name & specification & we select which certificate
template do we want. instead it shows the page
in windows 2008 R2 enterprise edition this problem doesn't exist. also in standalone CA web enrollment page this problem doesn't exist.
any help pleas
thanks in advance

forget about enrollment web pages. With Enterprise CAs you should consider to use Certificates MMC snap-in:

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions. One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
and pandora.com to name a couple. This was roughly 3 days ago.
1.) I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower. In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors.
The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors. So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this. Things I have tried:
1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first). Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites. I found nothing I could identify
Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point.
I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can. I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
Help is most appreciated, thank you!

I was able to figure out a solution.
CAUSE:
It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers. It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups. i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
SOLUTION:
To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.
