Hi Trollios,<br />
<br />
What platform are you using?<br />
Are you going through a firewall or proxy?<br />

Hi Trollios,

What platform are you using?
Are you going through a firewall or proxy?

I would assume it's Sisco. It's just a piece of hardware, that we can't get to.<br />
<br />
We have a two-tiered ISS, there's the upperlevel that controls the major servers and there's us that handle smaller servers and workstations.<br />
<br />
and it is a firewall.

Hi Trollios,<br />
<br />
It sounds to me that the ports probably are opened at most junctions, but the firewall has a rule preventing the connection from the &quot;outside&quot;.<br />
<br />
Just a guess....<br />
<br />
Good Luck,<br />

Thanks Kent.<br />

but do you know if there's software that can find out for me for sure?

Thanks Kent.

but do you know if there's software that can find out for me for sure?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
we have a POS system that is supposed to pass information from a station to the server and then the server returns information for this we had to have the upper ISS enable some ports. Now the product vendor is saying the ports aren't open.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if there's a way to send info out through on port so it will hit the server and return through another port, and let us know where it's getting blocked? whether on the outgoing or incoming?

Tracing through ports

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
