Ports Required for Remote File Browsing..

[LloydSev]

What ports are required for this?

Opening IE and putting in \\computer\c$

After enabling firewall it doesn't work, so I just need the port(s) required for doing so. Also if they aren't the same, the port(s) required for remotely editting the registry.

yeah i found the files part, that has one already set in the firewall to just check..

ok sweet and the registry portion uses port 445 which is part of the file and print sharing entry in the firewall that already exists but not enabled.. awesome.
