Apparently you need to open high ports from the outside of the firewall
(Restric Access / Internet traffic). Put something like 1024: (don't forget
the ':') and see if this works.
You may narrow down the ports range to open, maybe something like
61000: in your case, but I don't know the way jetdirect works.
Hope this helps,
Renaud
