MSN being blocked when firewall says not to?

[Mathiau]

MSN was working yesterday for this user, today it is not, firewall show the port as being blocked, when the rule says it is open......


what is on with my box today, doesnt seem to want to do anything right.

I did create a new rule in the Parent rack with MSN access limited only to one user... it seems as though even with the Firewall Module installed on this rack, the Parent rack firewall is taking precedence over this firewall?

Confirmed, possible bug?

Parent rack - Workstations - has firewall module
-Child rack - Marketing (using Workstations as parent) has firewall module

In Child rack i set a rule and it allows MSN out for everyone in that rack - Marketing

Destination Port 1836

Now in Parent Rack Firewall, i set a new rule for someone in our Accounting Rack to have MSN access, using the Directory Connector UserName option and Destination port 1836

Since i only allowed through one person, the rule in the parent rack took priority over the child rack firewall module...thus bocking the child rack MSN allowance, since the user didnt match.

Should this occur?

Why install a module into a child rack if it is just going to be over powered by the parent rack?

"1863,5050,5190" is not a valid IP. Maybe you meant port?

[Mathiau]

wow!

ya, did mean port.. and yes, i had it set wrong, tested and works,my brain is so fried, going non stop for 6 months now.

Sorry Morris for wasting your time.

This is exactly why screenshots are awesome.

Finding that issue without screenshots would have been impossible.

absolutely! lets you see things over and sometimes easier to show something than try to explain it
