Port 80 is all you should need for WebDAV (web folders) to work in an
Intranet scenario. If you're using a browser, instead of typing the URL
into the address bar, go to File | Open..., type the URL, and make sure
"Open as web folder" is checked. That way, the location will be opened as a
web folder instead of in "normal" mode.
