SonicWall Firewall

Experts,
I setup a NAT on my sonicwall from private to public IP addresses, under Routing I added a line that allow ANY to access the internal device (which is a MPLS router). Under services I ensure I allowed SSH, under Firewall, Access Rules I added a rule that allow WAN to access the device, however when trying to access the device remotely I get connection time out and in the log I see a link that says Network Access, TCP dropped.
Did I missed anything? any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Roy

Thank you for your respond, I do have access list setup from WAN to LAN I open it for ANY just to test, also the NAT looks good in terms of setup, the trace route does fail on the spot, where else can I check if something is blocking this access?

a trick is to monitor if there is any traffic collected on the given NAT policy or firewall rule. just move your mouse over the Traffic Statistics icon, no need to click, you may see the byes and packets that have been received and transferred.

you may simply clear the statistics then run your test and check if there are new numbers there. if yes, it means the rule has been applied on the event. if not, the rule is not used therefore somewhere in your rules is wrong.

It is all on zero, I called Sonic wall support and they confirm that the configurations are correct, what else can be the issue?

Hi rfinaly,

I'm surprised SonicWALL tech support didn't pinpoint the issue! What did they say the cause was?

how did the things finally get solved?
