 Port 135?
epmap 135/tcp DCE endpoint resolution . Everytime i go through and disable all of the services i dont want running, i go back and check through netstat -an, and i always find Tcp port 135 running does anyone know a way to manually close this port(or are you not supposed to) . I dont windows allows you to disable the RPC service though, only the RPC locator.

The most obvious ways would be to just block it using a firewall.
I believe that port 135 is used by messenger. Simply goto control panel, then admin. tools.
go into services and disable the messanger service, and stop it.
Here is a good explination of why you'd want to disable it.
See if that port is still open... it shouldn't be.
There is another way here. Though it is a bit more complicated...

I have already disabled messenger through services.msc. I should have mentioned in the previous post that i am using a firewall. I have already tried disabling this port through the registry >>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>OLE, and changing the EnableDCOM value to N, but its still showing up in netstat -an. That method is supposed to disable it. Im gonna try out the method in the link you posted phishphreek.

Port 135 cannot be closed. The only way to do it is to install a firewall. If you got windows XP, just turn on the windows firewall, otherwise tiny personal firewall is good (and free), but needs a bit of configuring to get set up properly. Zone Alarm is also free, and needs hardly any configuration at all. There are other firewalls out there, just take your pick on which one you want to use.

For earlier products (NT, 98/95) I don't believe you can close port 135 although you can block it with a firewall (ZoneAlarm, Outpost, TinyFirewall are all good freeones). With the 2000/XP family of products I believe you can close down port 135 (and 137 and 139) by stopping the Messenger service.

I am using XP and I have never been able to block the port 135 by another way than through a firewall.
After I have done some search about it, I discovered that this port is used by Windows for some endpoints resolution. So, it's more than being simply related to messenger service.

Weird. I know the machines at work -- Windows XP Pro -- have 135/137/139 off. So somehow they did it. Perhaps a registry setting then.
