DCOM port restriction
-
This is more of a configuration question. I have a firewall between me and a DCOM component that is only letting allowing DCOM traffic (or more specifically I guess RPC traffic) through ports 135 and 40000-40001. I have followed instructions on how to achieve this from such entertaining articles such as "Using Distributed COM with Firewalls" (from MSDN) but to no avail. My component is still trying to establish a connection through any random port it likes. Although I'm well versed in details of TCP and the like I am a bit lost as to how to diagnose the problem here. A nod in the right direction would really be appreciated. Typically, most of the article I'm coming across are knee deep in most details but then skip quickly over the art of configuring the security aspects. TIA JBoy
