What ports do I have to open for SMB sharing?
So I have a relatively simple Setup for a 5-people Company I am currently working on. This Setup includes:
- 1 Server
- 1 Router
- 3+ "Clients"
I want to open a Windows Network share on the Server, to be accessed by the Clients. The SMB protocol that I configured uses Port 445 at some Point.
Unfortunately the consumer electronics Router I work with blocks port 445 and 139 for security considerations (netbios attacks), without any option to disable the blocking.
I called the router vendor's support and the plan now is to manually open some ports for forwarding the traffic necessary for SMB correctly.
Now I tried to Forward incoming port 445 connections to the local network, but unfortunately the connection is still dead.
What ports do I need to open for the connection to the Network share to work correctly?
