I'd like to hear what would cause local access to ports not to respond
but remote machines access those ports fine. I don't see the
difference between creating a local connection to a port -vs- a remote
machine connecting to the port but I'm no TCP/IP guru. Whether I used
127.0.0.1 or the static IP of the box, no local connections were
accepted.
"local" refers to using machine A to connect to the port machine A.
"remote" means using any other machine besides machine A to connect to
the port on machine A.
Oh, I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol but
that didn't help either.
The email server and web server were running during the install (same
as the other countless Windows Updates done before) but the FTP server
wasn't, but I still could not connect locally to FTP.
And I'm not blaming MS, but it is very suspicious that no problems
were evident until that patch was installed and the machine rebooted.
I understand that the layers are involved and there are several
players involved, but since the patch was the laast change, it will be
the first suspect.
All I can say is something, somewhere, got royally hosed because none
of the attempts to repair the damage were successful.
