Windows Vista may disconnect client communications that use TCP port 1723

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Vista-based computer that is running Windows Firewall.
  • A client application tries to connect through TCP port 1723.

In this scenario, Windows Vista may disconnect communications to the client. The following are examples of such client applications:

  • FTP applications that connect through port 1723
  • P2P applications that connect through port 1723
  • Multifunction printers on which scanning or faxing options use port 1723 for communications
    Note: In this situation, no error message is displayed in Windows. However, an error is displayed on the printer.

For more information on this issue, including potential causes, workarounds, and resolutions, see: Microsoft KB Article KB946567.
