Re: [hylafax-users] Hylafax Client - Server problem



I would say that you'd need a rather advanced router (read expensive) or a box running linux to provide this kind of functionality.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

Hi,

What do you mean by ftp connection tracking? Do you mean that my router
should allow port 4559 to have the same capability as FTP port 21? Is there
any router model that could provide this capability? If yes, can you suggest
an example, as I am really frustrated...

From you reply message, it seems that my problem is due to the router but
not hylafax software, doesn't it? This problem isn't related to NAT, isn't
it?

Thank you.

Thomas

The problem is that your router is not doing the ftp connection tracking
 on port 4559. In linux it is easy as making sure that ip_conntrack_ftp
is running with 4559 specified as one of the ports.

eg

insmod ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,4559


What was happening to me was the client was connecting but not able to transfer the postscript file and was hanging at this point.

Hi,

I have port 4559 forwarded on NAT. My host.faxd is correct. Will it be

my


NAT problem or hylafax does not support NAT address translation?

Hi everyone,


I have set up a fax server using hylafax version 4.20 on fedora core 2 recently. It works fine.

If I put the fax server behind an NAT, (i.e. fax server has an internal

IP


192.168.1.xx), some problem occurs when I try to use print-to-fax fax
client to sent a fax from windows to fax server. For example, if I use

WHFC



to send a fax from windows to hylafax using default port 4559, where
hylafax server is behind NAT, the data connection seems hanging up. The
document could not be sent to fax server.


However, if I remove the NAT and set the hylafax server IP to a public

IP


220.246.21.xx, the document can be sent successfully from windows

through


port 4559.


Is there a solution solving this kind of problem? Thank you.

Hi Thkmas,

did you check your rules of the NAT is port 4559 forwarded ?
check your hosts.hfaxd file if you are permitted to connect
(see man hosts.hfaxd)
