I'm using Server 2003 MMC to manage computers remotely. The XP box I tried to connect to could not be found. I turned off the firewall and I easily connect to the box now. So can someone give me the port # for MMC?

Solution: File and Print sharing has to be enabled

Thanks

Borrowed from a Technet article;

?What port number would the mmc need open??

For remote administration, the ports that are required are TCP 135 and 445. A good way to make sure these are available through the Windows Firewall would be to use Group Policy and under the Computer Configuration ? Administrative Templates ? Network ? Network Connections ? Windows Firewall ? Domain Profile you enable the ?Allow remote administration exception? policy.
