>From outside of your network (you may have to get a friend who is not at your office to do this for you), try to telnet to the GNAT Box EXT address on a port that is not configured to accept a connection.
i.e., if you don't have tftp open to the Internet (which you probably don't), you can try: telnet GNATBoxEXTAddress 69 If you aren't allowing logins by telnet (which you shouldn't since all the communication between host and client is clear [unencrypted] text, including passwords), then you can try: telnet GNATBoxEXTAddress Which is equivalent to: telnet GNATBoxEXTAddress 23 Depending on how many alarms you have configured the GNAT Box to require before sending email, you may have to try opening several telnet sessions in quick succession to force an alarm message to be generated.
