Yes. You must ensure however, that port 3306 is available in order to permit connection to your remote mySQL server. Network Address Translation boxes are not a problem. Non-translating proxies might be however - contact your systems administrator if you are operating under a proxy to ensure that packets will be properly routed.

Yes, the InfoGate 3020 can work behind a firewall or NAT, by opening the following ports: TCP/IP: 8481 UDP: 6024, 6026, 6028 & 6030 UDP: 1588 for InnoSphere

For most routers, yes. The service is designed to work behind a NAT router and you should be able to just plug in and go, assuming your router is handling DHCP services. In addition, there is an excellent network connection troubleshooter built into the XBL front-end. You can configure your Xbox with a static IP if required, you can manually set various network settings, and you can even have the Xbox spoof a certain MAC address if required by your ISP.

This depends upon how your firewall / NAT server is configured. Please ask your network administrator if your firewall (or NAT server) is configured to allow PING and TRACERT to work (which use ICMP ECHO, ECHO REPLY, and TTL EXPIRED packets). You can test this yourself by running these programs on your computer (For example, try "tracert www.visualware.com"). If these programs work, VisualRoute should work just fine on your computer.

It should work with any type of firewall including Symmetric NAT. Symmetric NAT is performed only by advanced enterprise routers, in that case NATPass™ will recognize this scenario and will make the call succeed by signaling and doing RTP bridging. It is all transparent for the user and there is no need to reconfigure anything.

You can find classification of NAT in RFC 3489 – STUN http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3489.html. It should not mater what type of firewall you have.

Yes. WuWu is completely Firewall/NAT compatible! For additional information on this topic, please read the WuWu Firewall / NAT how-to.

The quick summary: You need to forward your ports if you have NAT in order to get the fastest speeds. This is probably the most common thing that people fail to do when using BitTorrent. Read on for more details of what all this entails, and if it's something that you need to do. Prior to version 3.2, BitTorrent by default uses ports in the range of 6881-6889. As of 3.2 and later, the range has been extended to 6881-6999. (These are all TCP ports, BitTorrent does not use UDP.

Yes, but you will get better performance if other peers can connect to you. By default, BitTorrent listens on port 6881, trying incrementially higher ports if it's unable to bind. It gives up after 6889 (the port range is configurable.) It's up to you to figure out how to poke a hole in your firewall/NAT.

Incoming traffic is usually accomplished by simple port-forwarding, with certain types (fragmented, for example) of traffic filtered out. Although ports can be forwarded to other internal IP addresses, this isn't generally referred to as NAT, which includes port-remapping as well as forwarding.

If the packet is to go out the WAN interface, the router applies NAT (Network Address Translation) by changing the packet header's source address from the originating device's private LAN IP, to its own public IP address. Thus when it arrives at its destination, it will appear to have originated from your routers public address, and any reply will be sent there.

Answer: You have multiple approaches for delivering IP telephony while keeping the firewall intact. The solution operates outside of the firewall and can utilize a Network Address Translation device (NAT) that only allows voice calls to the specific IP addresses through the firewall.

Yes. A port needs to be open through the firewall of course, and that port can be specified in the Client configuration.

Sort of. There is basic provision for a simple web proxy, which will allow you to query the Gnutella and hotline search engines, but most firewalls will not allow gnutella, hotline or OpenNapster connections. Enable the following ports for best results. Carracho downloads are not possible, only searching. I will add it if someone figures out the download protocol!

A NAT is often used between private networks (like those used at home or at work) and the Internet to map a private IP address to a public IP address. Routers and software gateways (such as Internet Connection Sharing in Windows) usually also function as NATs. Firewalls, on the other hand, filter access to protected networks. Netphone2phone works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup.

Yes, you can use a "Broadband" router in your location. There many versions available at most electronic stores, from wireless versions to hard-wired.

Think of eBLVD as you think of accessing secure 128-bit SSL web pages. A sophisticated hacker could intercept your web session but would only see encrypted data. The hacker would need to decode each individual stream of data and reassemble it to be able to view the data. This is virtually impossible.

Outgoing SSTP connection can pass through any kind of NAT and firewalls - as long as TCP port 443 is allowed (which is normally the case). If the VPN client is behind a web proxy, then outgoing SSTP connection can go through in normal web proxy. SSTP does not support "authenticated" web proxies (i.e. proxies which require some form of authentication during HTTP CONNECT request).
