Port number to open inorder to map a drive

Kelvin · Dec 9, 2003

What are the ports to open for firewall in order to map a
drive to the server. Could not find the server from the
network.

Generally ports 135, 137-139, and 445 tcp/upd are associated with browsing and file
and print sharing. Since you are just interested in mapping a drive, try port 445 tcp
and udp. You might also try mapping by ip address such as \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sharename
instead of using the name. --- Steve
