Any chance to test with the DSS LITE infront of the ISA server just to see if can connect.
I had a similar problem that displayed the error message "can't connect to open-e server" and found out that my firewall was blocking communications. I took another route out and the system apparently registered ok, at least it said that it did. However, I never did get the email with the serial number, etc. I went to register at your online registration page, but it would not let me register because I did not have a serial number. This is a catch-22 for sure. I set up DSS-Lite on a test system and will be loading it on some new hardware when it arrives. This might be after the end of this month. Will the product still register in February or somewhere down the road? Thanks.
Thanks Tom, but I still cannot figure out why I did not get my registration email with my serial number in it. I started to set up a test system, and it wanted me to register right away. Could it be that since the system was not totally set up that it did not register? I am uncertain what all your registration procee does, but I recall somewhere that it sent info about the machine. Thanks again. Bob
Yes, I did connect the DSS Lite after the border router infront of the firewall. Activation was now successful. But it would be good to know which ports/protocols we need to open for the registration just in case case we need to reactivate it. Port 10444 is not all. It's much work to change the network physical and logical just for activation ;-)Originally Posted by To-M

Hello,Originally Posted by Marcus
I'm trying to register but can not probably because of a firewall issue. I opened port 10444 and can see ACCEPTED trafic on this port from the open-e machine to 88.198.24.38.
I can connect to 88.198.24.38 on port 10444 via telnet.
What else should I do for the registration process to work?
thanks!
I have talked with many who have multiple levels of firewalls in place or double NAT's that have been causing this issue. Is the DSS LITE behind a Cisco PIX or WatchGuard or any other device to help others or just temporary just to register place in DMZ port then remove.
I've also tried to register, which also didn't work.
static.88-198-24-38.clients.your-server.de (88.198.24.38) just sends SYN/ACK while my box tries to connect port 10444 and thats it... after a while I got "104, 'Connection reset by peer'".
I am not using NAT, the box where I try to install Open-E lite is directly connected to the Internet with own official IP.
@To-M: looks like the IP stack of your registration server is a bit broken, here a tcpdump while doing just a 'telnet 88.198.24.38 10444':

Why does it send SYN/ACK's all the time?
