... to determine if the proper port is unblocked/open? Whether its port 21 for FTP, 139 or 445 for SMB, 25 or 587 for email, 9100 for printing, I can never be sure, just cause the function isn't working. Maybe a command prompt? An external utility? Or just admin rights to the main server? =^..^=

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Is there a definitive test ...
So for example:
C:\Documents and Settings\user>telnet 192.168.0.100:139
or something like that? And what sort of response would I expect?If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

Ask and ye shall receive.
It's a free utility from Micro$oft.
Actually, I just used it again today.
Just run "portqueryui.exe". Nothing to install!“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment

NetworkScan does this if properly configured:
SoftPerfect Network Scanner: fast and free network scanner
Go to Options>Program Options>Additional>Check for open TCP ports

Re: Is there a definitive test ...
Marvelous! Three possible outcomes: LISTENING, FILTERED, or LISTENING or FILTERED. I'm not sure whats being specified in the third case, but when I tested our SMTP, SMB, and FTP, I got the expected results.
Maybe I missed a step, but it only seems to check port 80. I experiment a little more to see if I can get more useful results.
Thanks All. This will help a lot. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

Re: Is there a definitive test ...
On the pc you want to check (providing your on it) you can use: cmd, netsh firewall show state or netsh firewall show config (This works on XP)
This will will provide some useful info on what the firewall is blocking, although it may be different for win 7Networking skills are advantageous but use of a 3m vacuum cleaner is essential
