Port Forwarding

[Gary.Hibbard]

I've got the distributer running behind a typical home router. What ports need to be forwarded to the computer running the distributer? I've got 443, 5500, and 5901 forwarding already. No firewalls enabled on the machine itself. On the end user end it gets to the point where it's creating the SSL connection. Then I get an error in the distributer log that says "ERROR: Accept SSL Unsuccessful".Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm going at this for a second time now. I was never successful in setting up the connection behind a dlink router (linksys yes, but dlink no).

The machine that is running the distributer is being forwarded 443 as well as 5500 and 5901. It is also on the DMZ. At any computer inside of the network, I can connect to the distributer using its private IP (when using public it won't get past the "Create SSL" phase).

I have only been successful from an outside machine TWICE and they were hours apart in time.

Does anybody out there have their distributer set up behind a dlink router? If so, are there any configuration settings that I should know about?

Thanks for your help everyone,
Gary

NB: Can not ping the public IP address from any other machine on the net (security reasons)--sharing this information as I am not sure if the winvnc.exe application checks to see if a connection is possible before it tries to connect to 443.
