RE: UPS Worldship connection problems with new firewall device

["Chris Hunhoff" <chunhoff () eastriver coop>]

By default a Sonicwall allows all ports outbound so you shouldn't have
to create any outbound rules unless you specifically closed these ports
and UPS Worldship does not require any inbound ports that I know of.

You might want to try enabling fragmented packets on the allow-all rule.
This seems to be a fix- all for a lot of traffic problems with the
Sonicwall.

firewall device

Thank you Nathan, Paul, Bruce and Keith for giving
some of your insights on what to do.

Before posting to this prestigeous group. I called UPS
technical support and was told to allow ports 80 and
443 on the firewall. So, I created/added a rule named
UPS to do that which allows the network 153.2.x.x to
LAN to pass through on said ports.

I have also called technical support of SonicWall for
assistance and sent them the tsr (tech support report)
file which has the list of rules and other
configuration but so far they have not seen anything
wrong with it.

For this firewall appliance (TZ170), I have just
enabled Terminal Services to pass through and site to
site VPN and the rest are just the normal
configuration.

I must suspect there could be a rule here that
completely blocks connection. I shall send you guys
some info tomorrow when I get back to the office.

One thing I noticed, when I upgraded the SOHO3 to
TZ170. The Soho3 had another device linked to it and
it was a Linksys 4 port router which has port
forwarding enabled. I have not scrutinized the
configuration of this additional device per se, but
what I can say is that it has port forwarding enabled.

Thank you for your time.

Very sincerely yours,
Servie
