Connect through firewall problem

Post by Klaas » Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:57 pm

I cannot connect to iStorage server through an firewall. I have port 3260 (tcp and upd) forward to the iStorage server. I have enabled Anonymous security.
When I try to connect I receive the following error: Initiator failed to connect to the target. Target IP address and TCP Port number are given in dump data.

Can anyone tell what I have to do to get this working?

Best regards,
Klaas

Thanks for the answer. But it is not the firewall on the Windows 2003 server (there is no firewall active) It is the firewall which connect to the other company site.
