| My Co has a PIX firewall, it will be connected to a router borrowed by the ISP. They asked us what port we want to open, I have no idea about that. Can anyone tell me ,in normal case, what port do I need to get opened? I will build up a web server, ftp server and VPN later. And some users will use MSN messenger, ICQ, and IT staff may need to use pcanywhere to remote control of another PC in different location. | |

| You should open all ports and then tell us the ip address. That should keep you busy !!! | |

| Use a test machine to run any one of these services. Then open a DOS window and type "netstat". It shouod show you what ports are being used. | |

| I'm not used to seeing a CCNA ask what ports do FTP or HTTPS correspond to. So, this must be why am I reading this and thinking that the best recourse in a situation like this is that they should hire a bonded consultant to do this, if there is such a thing where they are.
As far as VPN goes, 1723 and 1701 are for totally different protocols and neither will work correctly if they don't enter in the corresponding IP protocol. So, the best recourse whould probably be to talk to the same consultant that they hired to work the router, who can then tell them what to do for the VPN solution that they are wanting.
Cheers,

Web --> 80 TCP
FTP --> 21 TCP possibly use 20 as well but depends on what your doing with it.
VPN --> PPTP 1723 TCP w/ Protocol 47 Usually. L2TP 500 udp w/ Protocols 50/51.
PC Anywhere --> 5631 TCP / 5632 Udp
Unfortunately you'll have to config your software to use diffrent ports if more then one person needs to use PCAnywhere as you can only map ports to one IP.
MSN/ICQ make outgoing connections so you don't need to map ports for them. And I'm not sure but you may need to if you want them to be able to share files thru MSN. | |

| I agree with the suggestion to hire a consultant.
Its not a everyday a guy that is MCSE and CCNA asks a question about ports.
If security is of any concern to this company, pay someone to set it up, ot get some training so it can be handled now and in the future. | |

| You're close on L2TP, Mindmesh, but not quite right.

| Isn't it funny how sometimes the original poster never comes back and reports "got it" or "thanks for the help" ?

| Tarzanboy 2003-08-17, 5:43 pm |
| If you were a CCNA and a MCSE and needed to know the port number for FTP and HTTP and broadcast it on a forum full of certified sarcastic people who know you should know this, would you come back to say "I figured it out" or "Google is my friend, thanks anyways"?

And that would be Arnie, would it?
He's more likely to shoot first, and ask questions, well never I guess. | |

I would like to echo previous comments. A CCNA / MCSE should be aware of port numbers and all things TCP/IP related.
Firstly: shame on you for asking!
Secondly: In your defence!! It is not the forum post I ever saw. (That was from a Techie who installed SBS 2k, rebooted and wondered why he was prompted to install SBS from Disk one again).
Thirdly: use the net! It is a huge 'repository' (Sorry but I'm Microsoft Brainwashed) of info which will give you answers to anything. Thankfully on this occasion a very kind and patient FEW gave you the info you need.
Finally as i have benefited hugely from resources found by many fellow techies and cos I'm a nice bloke (lol) these are two for your favourites.
