Re: [FW-1] Tried to open tcp service port: Reject



Regarding your rule 999:

The 99x rules are dummy rule numbers that appear in DCE RPC specific
error logs. They indicate that the initial DCE RPC packets were
allowed, but something that happened later in the TCP stream did
not conform with the correct DCE RPC flow as FireWall-1 understands
it. Specifically: rule 998 indicates a client-to-server malformed
packet, rule 999 a server-to-client malformed packet and rule 997
that the client tried to switch to a UUID that was not allowed.

Torkel

similar to the problem that I am facing, but I couldn't use it for NG. Does
anybody have an idea what can I do to resolve this issue.
