    By default a Sonicwall allows all ports outbound so you shouldn't have
    to create any outbound rules unless you specifically closed these ports
    and UPS Worldship does not require any inbound ports that I know of.

    You might want to try enabling fragmented packets on the allow-all rule.
    This seems to be a fix- all for a lot of traffic problems with the
    Sonicwall.

    firewall device

    Thank you Nathan, Paul, Bruce and Keith for giving
    some of your insights on what to do.

    Before posting to this prestigeous group. I called UPS
    technical support and was told to allow ports 80 and
    443 on the firewall. So, I created/added a rule named
    UPS to do that which allows the network 153.2.x.x to
    LAN to pass through on said ports.

    I have also called technical support of SonicWall for
    assistance and sent them the tsr (tech support report)
    file which has the list of rules and other
    configuration but so far they have not seen anything
    wrong with it.

    For this firewall appliance (TZ170), I have just
    enabled Terminal Services to pass through and site to
    site VPN and the rest are just the normal
    configuration.

    I must suspect there could be a rule here that
    completely blocks connection. I shall send you guys
    some info tomorrow when I get back to the office.

    One thing I noticed, when I upgraded the SOHO3 to
    TZ170. The Soho3 had another device linked to it and
    it was a Linksys 4 port router which has port
    forwarding enabled. I have not scrutinized the
    configuration of this additional device per se, but
    what I can say is that it has port forwarding enabled.

    Thank you for your time.

    Very sincerely yours,
    Servie
