I know many of you may scream for mentioning a MS product in this group but I am trying to setup port forwarding to an Exchange server ibehind my firewall. I have read MS's article relating to this: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q155/8/31.ASP and it doesn't help.
I have set the static IP addresses required for MS's Directory Store (DS) & Information Store (IS). On the linux side, I have something similar to:
207.1.1.1:135:192.168.1.1:135
207.1.1.1:908:192.168.1.1:908 # Static IP of DS
207.1.1.1:909:192.168.1.1:909 # Static IP of IS
From w/in the firewall, I can telnet to 192.168.1.1 port 135 & it just sits there. I'm assuming that's ok & is waiting for a response, such as Outlook. It never times out. If i telnet to 207.1.1.1 port 135 from INSIDE the firewall, it times out & says: Could not a connection to hose on port 135 Connect failed.
If I try to access the Exchange from OUTSIDE the firewall, I get a similar error message....Exchange server not listening. I've run MS's rpcpings.exe & rpings.exe successfully. I can even get POP3 to work outside the firewall....just not the Outlook client using Client for Exchange Server option.
Is there a way to enable to logging or tracing of this? Anyway have any ideas? Help!!!!
