What ports is it complaining about?

So if my PWA is running in a SS on port 12345, and it is configured as a firewall exception, there's no need to open any other port?
The problem is that the firewall is complaining about some UDP ports opened by svchosts that are blocked, and I don't know if it can be related with the W3SVC-WP fail ( 2269 and 7888 errors, 503 unavailable message ).
Some other services/apps that are open in the firewall and might cause these problems are:
- WAMP on port 8080
- SMB
- Terminal Services
And those two, that I thing they should not be open in the firewall:
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\cys.exe
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe
The intranet is well protected behind a firewall, but I insist in having a firewall software installed in the server. Which one do you recommend? Any Open Source sollution?
Thanks!
