Re: Is this because of NTL's Closed Ports?

Ports 1433 (TCP), 1434 (UDP) Blocking these ports is likely to prevent the use of MS SQL Server and on occasion disrupt normal connections. This disruption is because these ports are above 1024. Ports above 1024 are used occasionally for 'temporary' communications e.g. the fetching of web pages. This is not a common practice, but it is worth noting that blocking these 2 ports may cause the (very) occasional "page not found" error due to port blocking. In these cases, if a customer tries to load the page again, or visit another site, the connection will work as normal.
