Hi list,
I’ve yet another question...
I’m using WHFC to send fax message to my Hylafax
gateway. But when I enable the firewall on the Hylafax server, WHFC can’t
setup a session with the Hylafax server.
Don’t get me wrong here...
It can connect to the Hylafax server at port 4559 but
WHFC can’t setup a session when authenticated to the Hylafax server.
I noticed in de logging that WHFC tries to connect
between a range of destination ports on the Hylafax server.
See example:

As you can see the Source port varies and the
Destination port increased after successful or unsuccessful connection.
I can disable firewalling... but that’s not my policy.
I like to know between what Destination ports WHFC tries
to connect? 34000:40000. Please advice.
Kind regards
