Do you just edit the port 21 configuration on the netgear? Or die you start from the beginning of opening it?<br />
<br />
Can you do a fresh configuration of the port on the firewall, and delete the old rule? Maybe you missed something.

I would assume you are trying to use FTP.. have you tried inside the network to verify the the port is open and rule out the server first?<br />

Turns out the Firewall died. &nbsp;Replaced with a Sonicwall TZ200 and all is working properly.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps someone else at some point!

I'm in the process of migrating from SBS2008 to SBS2011. &nbsp;I'm having some sort of blocking issue on a couple of ports. &nbsp;I have a Netgear firewall inline.<br />
<br />
For instance, port 21, when configured and pointed to the new server, does not open. &nbsp;but when you point it to the old server, it does. <br />
<br />
Firewall is off and all AV are disabled.<br />
<br />
Ideas?

Having trouble with opening a port on SBS2011

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
