Umm, this sounds like a job for Watchguard tech support. The NAT that I use (provided by my friends the colo people) has ipchains and does not block any ports. It only opens specified ports, and only specified ports. You can look thru the archives for more on ipchains (highly reccomended).
Will do, haven't yet..
Just type this into whatever CLI you're using to term into your box. ping yourboxipaddresshere:81 This command is universal (everyone feel free to point out a situation where ping isn't ping) and will tell you absolutely whether you have port 81 access or not. Before you hit enter on the command, pray to the server gods that you have port problem, if not, time for a restore.
Ok, this does not work. I tried it on the public raq where the web gui still works and it does not work for that. Pinging without the :81 works, but I get an unknown host with it. This is on both raqs, one with a working gui and one without.
So I installed openssh onto the public raq with the web gui on it, using the software install feature. I dl'd a tar file for the problem raq since I do not know how to install a .pkg file yet without the gui. (I'll research this to see how if possible). Naturally, I had problems with the configure and it won't install. So still telnetting. Someone suggested sash, will also look into that. Sheesh.Telnet, ewwwww. Go to pkgmaster.com and find yourself a copy of the OpenSSH pkg. Turn off the telnet server once its installed, and get either Putty for PC, MacSSH for mac and use that.
