My advice is free to all, so it stays in USENET (sorry). As i
said in the post, the easiest thing to do is try using a "port scan".
If any of your existing configuration has "anti-scan" software,
such as on the firewall in the Software602 stuff, then the "port
scan" would be defeated (as the firewall would lock out the
IP address doing the scan - some firewalls have an anti-scanning
feature like this, and you have to configure the firewall to allow
a scan like this, if the product has an anti-scan feature).
Rather than use a web site on the net to do the port scan, I found
a Windows program that will do the scan for you. Assuming all your
Software602 stuff is on the "Carlos" machine, you could install
and run the following program on the "Vera" machine. The
syntax (for the DOS version) would be something like "nmap 10.0.0.6",
where 10.0.0.6 is the address of the "Carlos" machine. After a short
time, the program should give you a list of open ports, and that
should get you started, in terms of things to port forward via the
router.

[ Note: Please do not point this program at machines on the Internet,
because if your ISP has port scanning detection on their router,
you could lose your account. ]
For example, it will report that port 80 is open, because
that port is used for HTTP to your web server. Based on the list
of ports returned, you can look them up in the IANA port list,
and that will give you some idea as to which services these ports
correspond to.
With the list of ports in hand, then you can go to the ASR-8400
and port forward those ports to the machine running the Software602
suite. Note however, that if you enable a brand new feature in the
Software602 stuff, that port won't be in the list of the "port scan"
you did, because a software package like that only opens ports for
services currently being used. So, you would have to go back to the
"Vera" machine and run another scan, to find out which ports were
opened for the new feature.
I suggest you enlist the aid of one of the people using your
servers, to test the various stuff as you enable it by port forwarding.
You could use a couple of hotmail accounts or some other web based
third party email service, to communicate until everything is working
properly. The reason this would work, is the hotmail server would
be outside your domain, and both you and your friend would be clients
to that server - so no port forwarding would be needed to access the
hotmail account.
If I had been able to find a list of services and what ports needed to
be open for each, I would have given it to you by now. I'm surprised
there isn't a web site with that kind of comprehensive info on it. If
I find one I'll post it. The following one has a tiny bit of info,
but not enough to get the whole job done, because SSL protection is
missing:

If you paid for a license for the Software602 product, then you should
contact their software support people, because they would have this
information. I think if you can find the "rules" file for the software
firewall, this will also contain a concise list of which ports to open.
Post again if you get stuck.

i am happy.
