Re: Opening a Port

I have an application that is having troubles transmitting over the

with domain admin rights log in and test the same app and the had the

have access to all ports and that something else other than a port
problem would be the problem. I thought that if a port is closed, it
is closed to everyone regardless of their credentials. Can someone
confirm my suspicion though that a port is closed regardless of your
login credentials?

Too little detail. Too much hearsay.

- What application? Version?
- What kind of transmission? Protocol? Data?
- What's the exact error message?
- Have you some sort of packet filter on the host in place?
- What firewall do you use?
- What do the logs on the host say?
- What do the logs on the firewall say?
- Have you tried the respective network tools (ping, netstat,
traceroute, port scanner, sniffer, ...) to track down the issue?
What were the results?
