<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using PD within an intranet (I've got 3
computers networked using a D-Link 704 Ethernet gateway/router) and I'm having
trouble using netsend and netreceive in this environment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It looks like I need to configure the D-Link
manually to allow communication on specific ports - it has a built-in
firewall. For example: I've manually configured the D-Link to allow
incoming messages to Port 21 for FTP services on my server and port 80 for WWW
messages, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can configure the D-Link to 'listen' on any port
I want, but only if there's an outgoing message that corresponds to the incoming
port. For example, if a message goes out of PD on port 3000, then the
firewall allows a response from an external computer on the same
port.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The D-Link interface calls this a 'trigger'.
Hence, if PD's netsend (for TCP) uses port 200 for all outgoing message, then I
can tell the D-Link to open ports 2999-49999 for incoming messages.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So the question is: Which port does [netsend] use
for outgoing messages?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>many thanks..</FONT></DIV>
