Hi all,
We have hosted a new windows 2003 standard edition recently to use it
as a web server. Internet connection firewall is disabled at the
moment. Is it recommended to enable it? coz when i do netstat, i get
epmap connection established with some remote machines. Also i can
telnet on port 2433 (after hiding sql server)
I know for the fact that i can block incoming ports in RRAS but not
sure if enabling ICF not messes up everything. I cant try now because
its live now and have transfered around 50 sites.

Cheers!
