i've never done this and am unsure of my answer, so i'm mailing off-list. amanda needs some ports available for the initial contact. these need to be in the special range below 1024 and i think they need to be udp. this part you have done. (note, it must be on client and server i think) but after the initial contact and authentication, amanda also needs tcp ports in the non-special range. that is where the backup travels. so you will have to also open up those firewall ports and configure with them. -- Jon H.
