TCP/IP filter or IP packats filtering on Win2k3?

Hi all

I am setting up my server - Win2k3. I have applied TCP/IP filtering and left only the ports for HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, MySQL and Windows Remote Desktop open. However, now I found I cannot access web pages from the server so I cannot get the latest updates.

Would using IP Packet filtering be better?

Is there any other better practice to get the windows updates?

John
