February 22, 201115 yr According to apple -- http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629 at least port 548 TCP.
February 22, 201115 yr i tried 548 still doesn't work Are you trying to connect to the afp shares from outside your local network?? If you are I HIGHLY suggest you undo whatever you have done to get SMB working and forget about doing afp the same way. There is no protection against someone trying to find and connect to those shares, you are leaving yourself open for a world of hurt You need to be looking into something like VPN to get connected to your home network securely and then you can mount the afp and smb shares like you are sitting at home on your own wireless.
