Hello,

I know you are probably not fond of Newbies starting a thread saying they have an emergency, but I need some help ASAP.



I am in a serouisly bad possetion, I have been choosen to migrate from a NT server to Windows 2000 server. The Windows 2000 server is fully patched, and has Black Ic 3.6, and Symantec Anti-Virus 8.01

I have a large portion of the Department of Windows XP Machines, when I connect to the Windows 2000 server, I can log on fine, and I can see all of my netowrk drives, and edit them normally.

BUT on my log, on the Windows 2000 server, on the black ice log it is saying that my Windows XP Machine are scan ports 80 and 443. This is highlighted as a major problem (within the black ice program). All the compurters in my department are in the allowed ip range on black ice. (including the Xp machines that are 'scanning' these ports.


My main question is how can I make it so the Windows Xp machines stop trying to search for open ports on port 80
and 443, and also is there a service that might be doing this?

Sorry for the urgency, and I know you miight get this alot but I am probably going to lose my job if I can not figure
this out in 3 days, and this was my last resort :-/ (I called my IT department and they gave me no help, they said
it was on me.


Also on a side note:
oes anyone know which ports the lsass.exe (LSA Shell) program uses to connect with the server (w2kserver)?


Another note: I have conacted my IT head department and they said it was all up to me to figure this thing out, so I am kind of in a bad posetion.

Please Help
Thanks for listening, and for the help.
