Also if you want to open up the ports PERMANTLY through Captive Portal (ie open even with authentication) Edit the CaptivePortal.inc file and you can add a rule into the file itself. Not sure if this would be supported by the devs though ;) -Tim

Help! > > --Tim Nelson Hello, I just solved a similar problem. Go to Services:Captive portal:Allowed IP Addresses and add the IPs that need to talk to each other. I'm not exactly sure how this would work for VPN, but I had to do this to get pcAnywhere to work again. You have to add the IP in the captive portal interface, not just the NAT and firewall rules. This isn't very clear, so it is more of a problem with documentation and usability than an actual bug. I hope this helps. -Matthew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
