Re: [FW-1] RPC Traffic (TCP 135)



I don't think that by opening TCP/135 your problems will go away. It is a
bit weird what you are experiencing though. I may be wrong but If you get a
message saying "RPC Server is not available" by a WEB server, that doesn't
mean it is a problem having to do with TCP/135... I think that it is a bit
tricky. Maybe people (via the Internet i presume and by the Internet ONLY)
are loosing connection to your WEB Server and that is the reason why they
get a message like that. Why don't you try to smooth out the TCP/IP timeouts
ON the WEB servers and then have a look at the WEB servers log files. If you
have IIS5 on Win2K Adv Srv. along with Clustering, then there might be an
issue of misconfiguration. I suggest you start looking from there... DO NOT
OPEN ANY TCP/135 PORTS UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE, THAT IS WHEN USING
MTS SERVER AND NOT IIS SERVER.

Subject: [FW-1] RPC Traffic (TCP 135)


We are getting some errors on our site that the "RPC Server is not
available." If a user then refreshes the error goes away. I was searching
MS's site and found that it appears that RPC traffic is on Port 135/TCP. Any
issues with opening this up to web servers? I know I don't want to let the
NETBios ports through to the web servers from the internet. But are there
issues with this one port or has anyone else seen this error and know how to
fix it? We are running IIS5 on Win2k Adv Server. TIA.
