hi folks,

how to make SME7 run on port 445 instead of 139?
i've got a winXP box joined domain to my SME7 PDC.
then i install a software call XPunlimted which uses port 445 to query  the PDC.

when i do a netstat -n -b

i saw established port 139 to my SME7 -- good
but port 445 was time_WAIT -- bad

i suspose the SME7 did not response on port 445 to my software.

thanks

Port 445 was disabled to reduce log noise caused by WinXP machines.  I don't think you should change it to port 445 but rather add port 445 and use both 139 and 445.

See this bug for background: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1562

You can re-enable port 445 from the command line as follows:

config setprop smb SMBPorts 139,445
signal-event ibay-modify

Just wanted to add, that i did the same the old way ( modifying the user-templates)
Anyhow, i did it, because i wanted to stream to wiimc.
and i just added this, to get google to help other with the same problem
