Worse case, you can tell your firewall to put you on the "DMZ" or port forward anything 1024+ and make sure your box is secured. It's definitely not the best idea but I've done it before.
Note: When I did it, it was against a host with a known IP. I configured my Linux firewall (IPCop and/or Smoothwall) to forward all traffic from a KNOWN IP to my box - this prevents other machines from being forwarded internally. We now have VA VPN access so I no longer have to deal with it that way. /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS errors. --- MARCIA MCKINZIE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I am new to hardhats, and just learning VistA > software, although I have > been programming in M for quite a while. > > My question has to due with CPRS and Delphi errors. > I am working on VistA > over an internet connection.

Marcia, here is how CPRS and the server talk to each other. First CPRS calls out to the server on the specified port. In the message it calls out with, it includes a requested port for the server to call back with. In an unmodified CPRS, this number is random. Meaning the each time CPRS is called it will ask for a different call-back port. Your firewall is designed to block messages coming in on a port if there was no recent message going out on that same port. I posted a fix for this. Search in the archives for CPRS and one port (or something like that). If you can't find it, let me know. It will involve recompiling CPRS Hope that helps. Kevin > > 2.)
