Does anyone know how to setup PCanywhere thru Raptor Firewall? Please be specific for your help! This is what I did...but still cannot get thru:
1. Create 2 redirects: One for TCP with requested address (IP 204.176.176.185-my public IP address, SM255.255.255.255), redirected address of 192.168.1.6-my private IP address, redirected port of
5631...similarly for UDP redirect.
2. Create 1 rule with the following information: coming in via eth1 (outside
FW interface), from source (Universe), destined for (netpdc is the server I
want people to get access), coming out via eth0 (inside FW interface)...with the 2 included pcanywhereTCP and pcanywhereUDP that I created from the
protocols below.
3. One protocol for TCP (5631), one for UDP (5632).

Connections through firewalls can be very limited, even if you have access through or around the firewall you may still run into the problem of make connections to a foriegn system. Can you supply us with some more information on locations and networks. Is this system on the network?

Generic guideline for handling firewall port access:
1) Identify the problem; Is it a firewall problem ? Permit full access / disable the firewall function - for the given IP addresses. Test to see the product or service (PCanywhere) works as wanted. Remember to include tests like file-transfer, dial-back and encryption.
2) Locate the problem; Enable full logging on the firewall including generic rules. Block all access to the given IP-addresses. Test again and examine the firewall log carefully.
3) Solve the problem; Set up rules - one at a time - to permit for the ports required being displayed in the firewall log.
4) Evaluate the solution; Does the solution (port access) compromise your security policy? Clean up the test scenario. Case closed.
