DANGER, DANGER, Will Robinson !! Port 445 is a port for
MS File Sharing and should never be open to external
networks. This is how the latest virus/worms infect
computer systems..I hope you recheck this thread and
close unneeded ports.

<snip>
Common port assignments for SBS:
25 SMTP
80 (for HTTP>SSL redirection)
443 SSL
444 Companyweb
4125 RWW/RDP (ts to server/workstation desktops)
Some optional ports, depending on what additional
services you may want to publish:
110 Pop
1723 PPTP VPN (commonly listed as VPN passthrough which
includes GRE
(protocol 47)
3389 TS(RDP) direct to server desktop

I disagree with the port ,80 (for HTTP>SSL redirection), 
unless you are publishing a web site to the world this 
port does not need to be forwarded on the router. It is 
sufficient to forward 443 & 444 (SSL ports for SBS).
