Port forwarding / Check open ports
Skip555:
I'm having problems in two locations coming in behind a Firewall . I have asked the IT guys to set up port forwarding for me . I cant connect . when I run online port checker tools I get "port closed " . They tell me the ports are open .
I'm assuming i wont be able to connect unless the ports are open . Any suggestions on a better way to test ?
here are the online checkers I'm using :

I just heard back from the IT guy at one of the sites and he says the sonic wall wont show the port as open . He gave me alternate IP address for the phone system to bypass sonic so off to drive 3 hours and try it .
still waitng to hear from other IT guy

Hey Skip,
Sorry for the delay. I just saw this. It sounds like you have an I.T. idiot who thinks he understands I.T., but doesn't understand that Sonicwall is a different animal. Port forwarding works very well on Sonicwall, but there is more to it than just setting up the service. Once it's working, he needs to restrict it to a white listed IP as well.
If it's still not working to your satisfaction, tell him to use the Wizard. Yes, I know all of us hate wizards, but for setting up this particular thing on a SW, it actually is the best way to do it because there are other moving parts in play.

Trace is the only person I trust to properly set up a SW for voice services. :066:

:011: Stacey was made to believe that Sonicwalls could not be used for phone systems. The first time I ever set one up on a system she was programming she was silently waiting to give me a, "See, I knew it..." I didn't realize that until I had it ready to go, but I secure them down and I hadn't white listed her IP yet. When she couldn't hit the cabinet she let the first syllable or two slip before I said, "Oh, crap. I need to give you privileges." Then she had to swallow those first few syllables back when I proved she could hit the cabinet.
It almost happened a second time when I set voice to pass to the IP phones, but as we all know, Stacey doesn't like to be wrong so she held back that time. :066:
