I have a win 2003 Std home network. I use RRAS to share a dial up internet
connection. My son plays an online game that, since I installed the domain
server and RRAS, can't connect to the game server. I know I have to open TCP
ports 43594 and 43595 to inbound and outbound traffic, but to be honest, I
don't know how to to do that.

Can someon epoint me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Marcus
 
Do you have a firewall installed on the machine? The program is responsible
for opening the ports, however a firewall or other filtering program /
device can choose to block this traffic.
 
System/Network
2003 Srvr Std (Domain Controller)
1-Win XP SP2
1- Win 200 Pro
1- Win 98se
1-iMac (OS 8.6)

Services
.. FreeProxy 3.81 (I couldn't succesfully get RRAS to provide an IC for the
iMac)
.. RRAS

The XP box has the Windows firewall running. This is the machine for which I
am trying to get the connection. It occurred to me today (at work) that it
may be the Windows Firewall in XP.
 
In actuality, what I would like to do, is to use only the MS products I have
to accomplish my needs. Unfortunately, I have had limited success. Using the
PC's described above, I need to have:

.. Internet connection to all
.. Print and file services to the iMac (OS 8.6)

If I can do this with what I have in Windows 2003 Std (I also have media and
license for 2003 Ent if that is more useful), then I would prefer to do that.
Any thoughts? Where can I find out about this?

My experience is more in maintaining a network, not in the setup.

Here was my solution:

.. Use RRAS for AppleTalk services (File & Print)
.. Use FreeProxy for internet proxy services by opening ports bound to the
standard protocol ports (SOCKS, HTTP, FTP, etc.) and 2 additional HTTP
protocol ports which tunnelled to the ports I needed open.
