Guest Michelle Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hello, I have set up a VPN tunnel between 2 Sonic Wall routers. From location A, I can access network shared drives located at location B. But from location A, using a Windows XP computer, I cannot telnet to any Solaris UNIX workstations located at location B. Whenever I use telnet, I get error about cannot open port 23. Does Sonic Wall lock out port 23? Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Can you contact the Solaris boxes in any other way? Like maybe Ping? If the SonicWall is blocking anything,...it will show it in the logging. Firewalls don't typically block things and then not leave a record of it. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------

Hello, This is not a Microsoft issue, you should post in a newsgroup or forum dedicated to sonicwall... Anyway, does these solaris have the route to location a (or the sonicwall in location b as default gateway) ? Are you able to ping solaris from location a ? For the telnet command, are you using ip of servers or hostname ? do you have dns resolution ?
