Good Afternoon Everyone,

We are a small office here, less than 25 workstations. We're running
SBS2000, using Exchange and SQL Server for office applications. Our normal
operating hours are from 8am-5pm.
An employee wants to use our server, somehow as a game server port after
hours.
All I have to do is open up port 28960 for him and he should be able to do
it.
Any comments about this? I'm not sure if I want to do this, if it's safe or
not. But also I'm curious if there is any other things I can expect by
opening up that port? Wondering if that's a port hackers like to use also.
I have all ports closed but the ones I need, I think it's less than 5 I have
open.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith

In God We Trust!
