Hi guys, Need some serious help

Hi guys,

Need some serious help here. Our SonicWall Pro 300 recently dropped some rules. Now any of our asp sites that write data to an Access database are not working. The asp pages in question provide a type of administration section to our customers to allow them to change the content of their site on their own. I'm not a firewall person, just a web developer so I'm not sure what to do and my sys. admin. knows less than I do. After hours of arguing yesterday I convinced him to open port 25 so that my pages could email, but I'm not sure what needs to be open to allow the asp pages to work. Any ideas??

Thanks so much,
Jewel

When faced with a decision, always ask, 'Which would be the most fun?'

You should be able to run some tests to access the pieces you are talking about, watch the SonicWall logs and based on the rejected packets, craft your rule from that.

Hi Jewel,

No Idea which port to use, but here's a couple of things I learned with our SonicWall Pro 1000:

1) As soon as you can, export your settings, in case it dumps them again. And export again after any changes you make.

2) One of ours was periodically shutting down. It turned out that there was a problem with our model and the current verion of firmware. We ended up downgrading to get things to work.

Maybe you already have an export file somewhere, or perhaps whoever set it up does.

HTH,
Thadd

ASP pages would just require standard DNS + HTTP ports wouldn't they ?
