My XP Pro box is behind a router. I want to share a folder over the net.
What ports must I forward to the XP box?

Thanks
 
File sharing ports are: TCP 139, 445, UDP 137, 138, 445

You may want to make sure you're only sharing as read-only over the net.
 
I didn't think you could do file sharing through a NAT (router), has anyone
tried this?
