PcAnywhere on PIX (newbie question)

| |Hi, | |I'm trying to PCAnywhere to one of our servers from outside the |network. There is a translation set up on the PIX for the server to |give it the following IP's; | |Internal: 192.168.1.1 |External: 66.9.37.161 | |The external IP address of our network is 66.9.37.160 | |(fake IP's) | | | From what I understand, PCAnywhere uses ports TCP 5631 and UDP 5632. |So, initially I created a rule to open these ports from the external IP |I address I was connecting from to any inside..which didn't work. | |I then created a rule to allow from the external IP to the internal |address of the server. Again, this didn't work. | |In both cases, I couldn't telnet to these ports using i) the |66.9.37.161 address and then the 66.9.37.160 address. | |Is there something obvious I'm going wrong? | |Thanks |Joe

Show us your rules you created.

Thanks... Brian Bergin

For testing, I've allowed from to be sure the problem isn't with the IP I'm trying from

Cheers mate Joe

You are telling it that the source and destination ports will both be

5623, I don't know anything about PCAnywhere but it is highly unusual for this to be the case for the vast majority of protocols, don't define a required port for the source.

This worked!!

Many thanks Paul
