Com+ inbound access ..

[xor2]

Hi,

I have just installed the application on this server in a COM directory.

The problem I am having is related to the firewall settings.

RPC (135) connection is being made, but client cannot reach port which is dynamically opened by the server in range of 5000-5500.

 

I set port range 5000-5500 in Component Services\My Computer\Properties\

Default protocol tab\ - properties of DCOM Protocols ...

 

When client is trying to connect it gets error: RPC server is not available.

If I switch off Winsows firewall (in Windows Firewall Settings) then everything is ok.

 

What should I do to allow traffic on (5000-5500)?

Why is not inbound connection (on dcom calls) opened?

I have the same problem. Firewall is blocking client access to Com+ components. I do not know what rules to create to open up the firewall. Any help please.
