I'm involved in a project with a partner company, and we are attempting to
use a router to hook up communications between our sites. The long and
short of it is that our external firewall alias will direct packets to their
router that they mailed us and we hooked up on our external network, and
that router should then direct those packets to their site.
The problem we are seeing is that the packets are dying at their router.
They claim this is because as they go through our firewall to the internal
machine, the internal machine responds out the firewall, but the source port
of the packets are changed coming out of the firewall. I had assumed this
was default on all firewalls (that the source ports on outgoing packets are
changed).
I guess that's my basic question: am I nuts, or is it correct behavior on
the part of my firewall to change the source packets coming out?
Thanks,
John
