    TCP port 445, which is open by default to allow file sharing with remote systems

    Its a windows thing I guess

    but...
    Why is it only open on one of my computers?
    The one it is open on is 2000, and the others are 9x do you think it has to do with that?

    Maybe you have file sharing enabled on that computer but not on the others.

    The Services.exe seems to change it's CRC data every often. So my firewall (Zone alarm) thinks that it's a new file and asks for permission everytime after i reboot. I even clicked the "Remember this answer next time" checkbox. I have even used the option "Identify by Full path only" but still it asks me permission each time. I want to give the program access to Internet but not to act as a server. But.. how do I stop zonealarm from annoying me with the same question each time ?
