Block Inbound for Ports 135, 445, 1028 and Ping (ICMP 8) for Windows 7, 2008 Server
By technese - Last updated: Monday, April 1, 2013
For workstations/servers that are public Internet facing and do not have a hardware/software firewall solution, use Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and block port 135, 445, 1028 and PING (ICMP 8) . GRC’s Shields Up! shows these ports as being open.
