BoardBabe Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Security update KB885250 is causing problems browsing my local area network. I am not able to see all dirs on a \\localcomputer\c\mydocuments, just as if some files and dirs are hidden (although they are not). This problem has been posted before, and is solved by uninstalling this security update.However, im a bit annoyed with not having all updates installed, and would like to know the CAUSE of the LAN browsing problem, can I fix this problem although the update is installed? Anyone else have this installed and does NOT have the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekenaar Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 According to the MS Knowledge Base there are a hotfix available, but you need to phone them to get it. See this article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albator Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Just dont use it,:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-011 Workarounds for Server Message Block Vulnerability - CAN-2005-0045: Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. While these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified in the following section. Note Other protocols such as IPX/SPX could be vulnerable to this issue. If those protocols are in use, it would be important to block the appropriate ports for those protocols as well. For more information about IPX/SPX, see the following Microsoft Web site.• Block TCP ports 139 and 445 at the firewall:These ports are used to initiate a connection with the affected protocol. Blocking them at the firewall, both inbound and outbound, will help prevent systems that are behind that firewall from attempts to exploit this vulnerability. We recommend that you block all unsolicited inbound communication from the Internet to help prevent attacks that may use other ports. For more information about the ports, visit the following Web site.------------------------------------------------------------------------MAy of the security hotfixes are not needed, if you use a 3rd party firewall or disable somes of the uneeded services.

BoardBabe Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 This does'nt really help no. For you who don't know what the problem caused by the update, please read the above link, however there is no "final" solution to the problem in the above link.RyanVM: If the fix will be in you next update, can you please explain to me how I can fix it in my Norwegian XP as I cannot use your updates (language issue). This is at the moment the last thing to finalize my UA DVD. So please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 ...just email MS and ask them to send you the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Or someone could post it here for me? Say if I were to not be able to validate my XP, not that I cant.... just theoretically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Well, maybe you should see what it takes to email them rather than assuming you know And God forbid you should actually have to do some work yourself instead of having others do it for you!
