Office #1 has a D-Link DI-713P firewall & DSL. There is a Win98 machine running PCAnywhere 9.2 Host.
Office #2 has a LinkSys BEFN2PS4 firewall & Cable Modem and a Win2000 machine running PCAnywhere 9.2 Remote.
Office #2 is able to connect with other sites over PCAnywhere using TCP, but not to Office #1.
The D-Link firewall's setup is a bit different than LinkSys. With D-Link you set up what's called a Virtual Server by opening up ports 5631 and 5632, but can't specify TCP and UDP respectively (as you do with LinkSys). Then there is a feature called Special Applications where you set a trigger and incoming ports, but their Tech support couldn't explain how to use this feature. Here's the section of the manual that describes it.
"The Special Applications options allow some of these
applications to work with a NAT router. If Special Applications is still insufficient to allow an application to function correctly, try DMZ host in the Misc Items options.
1. Trigger: the outbound port number the application issued first.
2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets to the specified port numbers are allowed to pass the firewall."
I'm not sure that this is how to fix the problem, but I think it might be. Anyone have any info about this?
Thanks!
