Remote Access via LDAP

September 5, 200619 yr

For my beta testing server (FMS8 on Panther), I have hosted my files, opened port 5003, pointed to my Internal IP, and tested with success (from an external open ISP as well as my own) connecting to my server via Remote, LDAP to my external IP address.

However, from my client's office, it could not connect.

Although it seems to establish the LDAP connect and the IP address shows above, and the network path IS correct (eg fmnet:/1.1.1.1/DBFile), the answer returned (both from PC and Mac, two sites) was:

"DBFile.fp7" could not be opened. Either the host is not available, or that file [is not].

The assumption is that the firewall is preventing the required data exchange, but my IT contacts at the client are only guessing.

Anyone have a specific cure that I might suggest to IT to allow my users access to my test server? They are not interested in providing the reverse (My access to the live server).
