WINS replication uses TCP 42...i have had to detail the
ports for NT and Exchange recently, so if you need more, let
me know.

Subject: WINS Replication Protocols


Gentlemen,

We are in the process of developing an intranet security
profile which
will consist of a template of applications/services which
must be made
available to our remote offices via our WAN. I have been
unable to find
any documentation regarding a port and protocol for
Microsoft's WINS to
WINS replication. WINS client name resolution is performed
via UDP on
port 137. I'm hoping WINS will run replication via TCP on
port 137 as I
prefer not to pass UDP traffice through our firewalls.

Any guidance and or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

TIA
