We have a Netscreen NS204 in a live environment and have to perform
testing on the rule set in an isolated environment. However to
financial constraints, we are only able to purchase a 5XP on which to
conduct testing.

We have successfully dumped the config from the live environment onto
the 5XP so that it has interface ips of 0.0.0.0 on both trust and
untrust - ie it is effectively operating in transparent mode.

There is no problem with Traffic from Trust to Untrust..however no
traffic seems to be able to come in from the Untrust interface to
Trust. I have confirmed that I have an ANY ANY rule set in BOTH
directions and it is at the TOP of the list in policies.

Has anyone had this or anty similar problems? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

TIA Moneel Trivedi.
