[Jack Lamers]

some tcp/ip ports on our firewall, anyone who knows which ports to open for
this????

Connections between Notes entities (server-server, client-server), to perform a
replication or whatever, are made using TCP/IP port number 1352 (by default).
You can find more informations about it in the admin guide, searching the word
TCPIP_TcpIpAddress (= notes.ini parameter)

There is some more information than just '1352'...

Notes only listens on port 1352... then, once the server has established a
connection, it will transfer this connection from ports 1024 and up,
excluding 1352, which is reserved for listening for connections. With the
experiences we've had with firewalls, on some firewall software, once the
server establishes the connection, it leaves a socket open with the firewall
for that workstation and server to communicate on. On other firewall apps,
it didn't do that and packet level security had to be enabled. (Nope, I
can't remember which software packages did what).

Notes uses the subport 1352 only for Server - Server connections !!!!
For client connections Notes uses a random subport number .....
You had to open your firewall for your complete Client-IP-Adress !!!!!

No, connections to a Notes server are initiated via port 1352 (tcp/udp). So
the firewall just has to allow inbound connections for port 1352 (tcp/udp).
Outbound connections (from server to the internet) through the firewall should
be without restrictions.

From the admin manual:
You may be blocked by a firewall server.  If you have a direct Internet connection, you can ping the Domino server to see if you can access it.  If you are able to ping, but still cannot access the server, try using telnet to connect to the server on port 1352 (see your telnet documentation for details on how to do this).  If you cannot connect with telnet, the firewall server may be blocking the TCP port and you will have to contact the remote site administrator to resolve the problem.

Sorry, but that´s the difference between theory and practice ....
The admin manual is not always correct !!!

Make one simple thing:

Go to the Server Console of your Domino Server and type:
SHOW PORT "Your used Port-Name for IP"
If users are connected you will see their incoming IP-Adresses on the screen.....
You will see a syntax like this:
Notes Session ------------- Local Adress --------- Foreign Adress -----

[No Spam]

Well, as they always say in magazine "I'll
stick by my story", by the way it probably
would be clearer if "show port" would also
include the direction of the connection.

Inbound connections from clients connect to
port 1352 of the server, so for those
you'll always see something to
NotesSession
LocalAddress
ForeignAddress
DEADBEEF
ServerIP.1352 ClientIP.1352
The server only listens for connections on
port 1352.

When the server opens up a connection, e.g.
for replication, or cluster updates, etc.
BEEFDEAD ServerIP.1024++
AnotherIP.1352
So for outbound connections the firewall
would have to allow
internalAddress.Ports1024++ connecting to
externalAddress.Ports1352

No, it's IP. Every IP service has a default port that it uses, for
example HTTP servers use port 80, I'm prretty sure SMTP servers use
port 25 and that SSL uses port 110. It is just one of the things you
have to know to configure the various services on a TCI/IP box.

[Notes Goombah]

Again, As I have said before (please read this carefully)

Notes only uses port 1352 for establishing a connection... lord, it even
says this in the amdin guide.... after that, the connection is moved to any
port between 1024 and above, excluding 1352, and other dedicated tcpip
ports...

... Think about it... if notes communicated solely on 1352... how would it
be able to keep multiple active open sessions running... without bogging
down to a snail crawl when you have 800+ concurrent users?

Throw a port sniffer on there if you don't believe me, or read the manual.

Again, there is no default port for any Domino server task (such as router,
replicator). HTTP, POP3, SMTP follow the industry standards, but, since
replication is Notes specific, and is internal to Notes, it will use
whatever port it feels like after a server connection is made on port 1352.

Again, I will state Notes does not... use 1352 for anything other than
listening for notes server/client sessions. Once it picks p a session, it
moves it, regardless of what it is, be it a server task (such as
replication) or a client connection, to anywhere between 1024 and up.

RTFM?
