I am having some difficulties in getting my WIN2KSP4 stand-
alone server to pass some basic security.

Issue: Ports 1027 & 1029 are being held open by msdtc.exe
& MSTask.exe respectively.

Server Application: Proxy server/firewall, dialup 56K.

I am running WinGate as a proxy/firewall (no comments
please) and yet these 2 ports are being forced open.

No being literate in this area I would like to know if any
one has any ideas as to how to close these ports to the
outside world.

Yes I have tested the system extensively for sasser and
the like. The system appears to be clean. Running
ServerProtect 5.5 (pattern file 885) as an antivirus
solution on this server.

Any comments would be most appreciated.

How do you know the ports are open to the outside world? The only real way
to tell is to scan from the outside, even by using one of the self scan
sites if necessary such as http://scan.sygatetech.com/ . If they are open
reconfigure port forwarding or firewall rules to not allow them to be open.
If you are running netsat -an or such and see ports listening or connected,
that does not necessarily mean the firewall will allow connections to
hem. --- Steve
