can you clarify a few things? 1. are you able to connect to any other servers on the partner network? 2. is your workstation address being NATed as well? ie is the real address used when that specific server pings your workstation? 3. any chance you have a traceroute/tracert result from your workstation to the server?

I seek the assistance of the masters, and suspect this might be an interesting thing for those of us in the student role. Here goes: I have an internal network seperated from a partner network via a 6500 switch/router which is also running NAT. There is also a Raptor firewall between my network and the border switch. There are some servers in the partner network that are accessed from my network. The 6500 has static NAT entries for those servers. The firwall rulebase is set to allow the connections. The problem is, I can not connect to a specific server in the partner network.. that is, until that server pings my workstation. After that, I can connect to them. What could be the cause of this? Could it be a NAT issue? Where might I start troubleshooting? -Ds -- The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the use of the person or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is CONFIDENTIAL and may be exempt from disclosure under applicable laws.
