[McGraw, Robert P.] My question is, is the 0.0.0.0 ip address something that I should have to enter into a firewall configuration to get traffic to pass through? The IP 0.0.0.0 seems to be blocked my firewall that I am using? On both firewalls I have my amanda server IP address set in the firewall to allow any type traffice through. Should this be enough? Thanks for your reply.
