RE: [smartBridges] ABO and firewalls

[Seeni Mohamed]

Hi Rick,   The reason why the Router/firewall is behaving in such a way is that it's not been configured properly. Please check the NAT settings (Network Address Translation) on the firewall and also see if there are any filters active. Other than these two things, the setup should work as normal.   Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech support     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kunze Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 9:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ABO and firewalls   I've got several other customers running exactly this same setup with no apparent problems.  So it's not simply the firewall it would appear.   Rk   At 05:21 PM 10/30/2003, you wrote: >Yup, I know exactly what it is.
