Hi! I have installed SP2 slipstream and, as you know,
Windows Firewall is on by default. I've passed a port
scanner from a Website and ICMP echo 8, 445 TCP and
NetBIOS ports are open. In Windows Firewall I have "File
and printer sharing" checkbox stated in "Subnet only",
Why port scanning from Internet detects these ports?

Thank's in advance.
