I am currently enable tcp/ip port filtering on an NT box, running 4.0.

The problem when I enable only ports 20,21,80 & 81(the standard ftp and
http ports), I can connect using HTTP(WWW), and FTP(using DOS & UNIX
clients).

Problem: I cannot connect to the machine's ftp port using a browser.

Can someone enlighten me as all the ports needed for correct & efficient
access to a site that only provides mail, ftp and http service.

P.S.: I am using the Windows NT Security Handbook and it is not proving
to be very useful, there is a listing of available ports, but no
specific info. on the needed or integral ones.

Thanks in advance.


Regards,

Laurent
