Can the Exchange servers be configured to use another port ?

AS long as the VPN is set up to use TCP/IP and remember that
VPN isnt "allowed" on residential NTL Services.

Read their AUP.


Also Windows 2K servers on which Exchange server sits needs RPC (Port 135) to function properly so although it can be protected it can t be actually "Closed".

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...n/MS00-066.asp

"Would it be possible to prevent the attack by disabling the RPC service?

It is not practical to disable the RPC service on a Windows 2000 server. RPC is an integral part of the Operating System and many services will not function with RPC disabled."

Shouldn't think so, because your running the software there and not on your machine

yes Outlook Web Access (OWA ) on port 80

but its dodgy.....

(Port 80 connections into your server via a home user)

I would recommend any look at Exchange on W2K seriously consider these

It'll be interesting to have a look at my router log when I get home to see how much difference this port blocking has made.

THE AUP does allow VPN, they just do not support it!

Re: NTL to block port 135
I can't access my pipex dialup mailbox no more...

But it turns out that pipex's mailservers are borked, so it's not due to NTL blocking 135. I didn't think it would be, but it gave me a bad moment.
