A really simple question here.<br />
We're in the process of installing a new server based application that communicates with a front end software installed on the client machines.<br />
<br />
Currently the application on the client machines cannot talk to the server.<br />
<br />
Apparently the communication is done over ports 1041 and 27000 to 27009<br />
I have tried to Telnet from the Workstation to the server using these ports and there is no connection.<br />
<br />
This says to me that the ports are blocked.<br />
<br />
We're running Win 7 on the Workstations, Server 2008 R2 on the server and a Fortigate 310b as our Firewall.<br />
<br />
How do I unblock these ports please?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
