Hi there, Can someone please give us some advice - where setting up a Sharepoint environment and we have the DC and SQL server in our internal LAN then placed the WFE in the DMZ with Firewall between DMZ and internal LAN. We've read several of the MS KB's on this setup and managed to configure majority of firewall rules to allow communication with AD and internal SQL server from the WFE.For some we've already use the MS KB's to configure static ports instead of dynamic ports. However what we find is there's one we cannot identify and how there's one service which we cannot identify and find a way to lock the port we found Sharepoint keep using the dynamic port (TCP49158) for authentication and cannot figure a way how to configure such that it uses a static port instead of dynamic. Has anyone encounter this before of give some advise? Much appreciated. Momo

Try using a NETSTAN -anbo to figure out which service is using that port. Once the service is identified, next steps to fix the port can be taken.

Hi, I have also noticed port 49158 to be used. I believe this is a static port but it uses random TDS ports which use the same static TCP port 49158. Cheers, troy
