citrix firewall issue

Testing a third party fw issue and posting here as another admin is having issues configuring his fw. My question is, I can telent to port 1494 but cannot connect thru citrix client, gives "no connection to citrix xenapp server" despite establishing a socket on 1494 could there be an alternate fw rule to consider?

Do the users connect via Web Interface or directly to the server?

If Web Interface you will need to open TCP ports 80 or 443.

If they are using Session Reliability, then you need TCP 2598 open.

Port 1494 is the standard ICA port.

Will try that, here is the latest log, it is trying to connect and failing on 6101, what service is on that port? Why is it trying to connect on that, I though it was port 10000

I am able to get on thru the program neighborhood application set creation process, however cannot get on via the web portal . The ports that are open where i am trying to connect is ;

8080/tcp open   http          Citrix Metaframe ICA Browser
1494/tcp open   citrix-ica    Citrix Metaframe XP ICA
443/tcp  open   ssl/http      Microsoft IIS webserver 5.0
80/tcp   open   http          Microsoft IIS webserver 5.0
541/tcp  open   osiris        osiris host IDS agent
3389/tcp open   microsoft-rdp Microsoft Terminal Service

He was merely changing the fw, the metaframe server did not change. However,  cannot get on via web browser now that the new fw is in place. Here is the contents of the ICA file from web browser ,scrubbed version. Again, I can log into the sight , but when i click the application icon "admin desktop" the web error is "cannot connect to citrix xenapp server, no server configured on specified address" .

Can the user get to your server at IP 192.168.1.6 from their location?  I seriously doubt it.

Good point, why is the ica file being generated have adderess as Address=192.168.1.6:1494 . i checked that against a working ica file to another site and address= a proper public ip. The ica file is telling my client to connect to 192.168.1.6 , which obviously i will not be able to connect to across the net.So how is this resolved?

further info , NFuse_IPv4AddressAlternate I set the correct external ip in the template.ica file on web, that corrected it. In my case, we do not use the secure gateway.
