a computer that is running Microsoft Services for Network File System, the required ports are not kept open even
though the components are selected in the wizard.CAUSEThe port numbers that Microsoft Services for Network File
System components use are stored in the registry. By default, these registry entries
are set to zero. Microsoft Services for Network File
System software interprets a zero to mean that the software uses the industry standard
port numbers. However, the Security Configuration Wizard does not interpret the zero in this manner. Therefore, the required ports for Microsoft Service for
Network File System are not kept open.RESOLUTIONWarning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems
might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own
risk. To resolve this issue, set the port
numbers in the registry according to the values in the Microsoft Services for Network File
System Help file. Then, rerun
the Security Configuration Wizard. To view the values in the Help file, follow
these steps: - Click Start, click Programs, click
Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Services for Network File
System.
- On the Help menu, click Help on
Microsoft Services for NFS, and then click Microsoft Services
for NFS troubleshooting.
- Click I need to modify ports used by Microsoft
Services for NFS.
Follow the steps in the Help document to set the port numbers in the registry.
