Firewall and port 445

We've followed a multitude of Q articles and have hacked the registry to statically fix the ports for the four key services on ports 1225-1228. We also have these ports plus port 135 allowed into our Exchange 2k server (a GC). It worked for quite a while, then stopped working for external Outlook clients. Through netstat and changing the access-list on the firewall, we discovered that it will work if we allow port 445 inbound also.

Anybody have any insight on this. We'd rather not open 445.

Applying the latest OS and E2K service packs fixed it
