I need to set up a mac running 10.2.6 and share files through a VPN/firewall appliance.

The VPN works fine and the user can authenticate. The Mac shares files behind the firewall fine.

But a user (G4 powerbook, 10.2.6) coming through the firewall can't see the macs. I assume there are some ports I have to open up. Unfortunately, the apple info is way to broad (ie. NetInfo uses ports 600-1023).

Does anyone have any experience with this? What is the minimum number of ports I need to open up so a Mac user can get to the files.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, d-
