So I’ve been looking through the discussions and questions for the right ports to open on windows firewall but still can’t seem to get it to work. Here are the ports that I have opened so far.
9100:TCP
5060:TCP
5800:TCP
80:TC
135:TCP:UDP
49155:TCP
22:TCP
1073:TCP
I have attempted to use wireshark to find the ports that spiceworks is accessing and I’ve opened them but nothing seems to work. If I turn off windows firewall, it works fine. What is even more odd, though, is that half the computers on our network show up without a hitch, but the other half, windows firewall is preventing spiceworks from scanning them.
What else am I to do?

Off the top of my head, I think that wmi also uses 443, but I’m not positive. Anyway, for a windows firewall based device, the MSFT team give you a handy command that will open the right ports for remote management:
netsh firewall set service REMOTEADMIN enable
see http://www.spiceworks.com/help/trb_why_do_i_have_so_many_unknown_devices.html for more info.
I’ve been trying to get through the XP firewall issue a few times - I have time now to see it through to the end this time.
I have tried the:
netsh firewall set service REMOTEADMIN enable
And still get the “Host unreachable or firewalled” message when I do a test.
I have done the upgrade to SW v.2
I haven’t tried to open all the other ports yet.
And, I know that WMI is working since when I turn the XP Firewall off, the scan works fine.
Anyone with any insight would be greatly appreciated.
