Allowing iPhone through firewall

Hi...
We use a Shorewall firewall with very restrictive policies on our network. I'm trying to figure out how to allow the iPhone through the network when connected via the cellular network. I was originally thinking allow it though by MAC address, however if I'm not mistaken, the cellular side doesn't have a MAC address.
We obviously can't use IP address. So I'm somewhat stumped at this point. I really don't want to have to VPN in first if possible.
Thanks.

Ok. Not sure I understand though. Your voip server is also your firewall? And only known IP addresses and/or MAC addresses are allowed to connect inbound?
Sorry, I don't mean to patronize, I'm really just thinking out loud here...so feel free to tell me to shut up. But a network with such a restrictive policy would probably consider the iPhone an insecure device even if you could identify it's address. It doesn't have hardware encryption so if stolen, it wouldn't be too hard to harvest data.
I'm assuming you need network access to data more than say, Exchange email. In that case a VPN seems like the obvious solution but you have reasons for not wanting to use it.
Of course for email or vpn there are subnetting, firewall, and routing options that would prevent unwanted protocols from reaching more secure parts of a network, if you can be more specific I'll offer what suggestions my experience has provided.

Allow Program Through Firewall

How do I allow Echolink to use UDP ports 5198 and 5199. Appears to be blocked by personal firewall and I can't get allow exceptions to work.

Is someone trying to connect into your computer using Echolink, or are you trying to make a connection to someone else's computer?
If someone is trying to connect to your machine from the outside, you may want to look at your Wireless router as provided by the FiOS service. The router will block connections it isn't told about coming in by design, and what you need to do besides checking your computer's firewall, is to Port Forward. If you're making the connection from your end to another person or server, then the person on that end has to make sure they've done Port forwarding and firewall checks, as needed.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes.

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

Whenever I try to open up Firefox, it says that it's unable to connect, however, my internet connection is fine and I can still open up Internet Explorer. I already allowed Firefox through my firewall.

My internet connection is fine, I already allowed Firefox through my firewall. This is the first time it had ever happened and it happened suddenly, out of nowhere.

Try "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
You can also try to remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Allowing WMI through Windows Firewall

I am trying to modify the setting in Windows Firewall to allow WMI through so that I can activate Windows using VAMT. I followed the steps to allow WMI-In via GPO and it appears to work. But when checking the firewall settings on the laptop I can see 2 entries
for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) 1 entry has ticks in all 3 boxes (Domain, Home, Public) and a Yes in the Group Policy column. This line is greyed out as I would expect it to be as it's managed via GPO. The 2nd entry does not have any ticks in
the boxes, i can manually tick these boxes.
My question is why do I have 2 entries? Would my VAMT activation be failing because 1 of the entries is not ticked? The error VAMT gives me is "Unable to connect to the WMI service on the remote machine."

Shouldn't fail and i have seen lots of erroneous duplicates in the past its not affected anything AFAIK

Itunes gets blocked through Firewall

I have Sonic Wall TZ 150 Standard as a firewall gateway and allowing hand ful of websites in to the allowed list of domains in Sonic wall so as to restrict others. But with this my Itunes was getting blocked and not allowing My IPHONE to update. So I run netstat utility and added all list of IP address coming up in to the allowed list of domains but still ITUNES is getting blocked.
So can you tell me if apple is using specific IP address list or is there any other process to get Itunes working through firewall.

and the McAfee Security programs
Doublechecking ... do your McAfee products include McAfee Family Protection?
If so, check to see if your McAfee Family Protection is currently blocking iTunes, as per the following McAfee document:
Using McAfee Family Protection Web Blocking
If iTunes is currently being blocked, unblock it.
Are you able to get through to the Store now?

App to automatically play song currently playing on iPhone through iTunes?

Hey, is there an app out there that would allow me to walk into my house playing a song on my iPhone through the earbuds, and have that song stop on the iphone and continue to play from that spot through iTunes? I often come home listening to a song, and want some way to continue that song through my home speakers without having to open iTunes, start the song, and drag the playhead to the same spot I'm at...I think this is a viable app idea if it doesn't already exist. It should be part of the iPhone software. "Automatic Proximity Sensing Music Zone Switching"
Thanks,
Sam

i have no heard or seen anything like this. what you can do is use the 'remote' app to start playing a song in iTunes, and it should be simple to set this up.
if anything, this would probably be easiest to add to the 'remote' app, if they haven't already thought about it.

I can not restore my iphone through iTunes

I can not restore my iphone through iTunes , it gives you can not restore error accured 3194

This often happens with Jailbroken phones. If that's the case, we can't support you in these forums as it is against the terms of use. This is Apple's information on error 3194:
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

Discoverer through firewall

Hi all,
hi have installed Oracle Business Intelligenge 10g (10.1.2). I
I lunch Oracle discoverer plus in the local network and all work fine. But when i try to access to oracle discoverer by interner (through firewall ) i see the logon page but after input User Name Password ed cnnect string a obtained Page not Found.
Thank in advance.
Best Regards
Giuseppe Marcello

By Default, Discoverer uses JRMP protocol, which does not necessarily pass
through the firewall.
Configure Discoverer to use HTTP instead of JRMP and it will solve your problem.
The 10.1.2 Discoverer Enterprise Manager allows you to configure this.

Webmin Port Access through firewall

OSX 10.8.5
I just finsihed installing the latest version of Webmin.
Everything is working fine but I can not figure out how to allow access through the firewall GUI.
I need to open port 10000. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I posted there a few months ago, without luck. I think I've finally found something when Googling the versions of each. iChat on Leopard doesn't use newer authentication protocols and Psi would need recompiled to be compatible. If anyone is curious in the modification here you go:

Can RMI get through firewall?

my java applet will have to communicate with SAP server using JCO
so the applet connects to an RMI server then the RMI server connects to SAP server.
in between applet and RMI server there is a firewall. will RMI get through firewall?

The answer is "maybe". It depends on
o How the service is coded. Probably has to be written to communicate using a fixed port number, rather than randomly assigned. (Most firewalls allow access to only specified ports.)
o Changing the firewall settings.
o Whether or not your server tries to call back the client, and whether the client is also behind a fireall. If these two details are both true, then you are probably dead in the water.
There are HTTP tunelling techniques for getting through firewalls. Haven't used them, but if you look back through this forum you'll probbly find some info.

RMI Connection Refused through Firewall

Hi,
I am having problems making an RMI connection through a firewall. On the server outside the firewall I have my servlet application running in an OC4J container and inside the firewall I have an EJB listening on port 6666. I have setup the firewall to allow connections through on port 6666. If I telnet from the machine outside the firewall on port 6666 I am able to make a connection to the EJB. So I know the firewall has been setup to handle the connection.
I run the servlet application and when it tries to make the connection it gives an error:
javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
When I do a snoop on the external machine to see what data is trying to be sent to the internal machine there is no data. When doing the telnet test there was data.
I have the same servlet application deployed on a machine internally and it is able to make a connection to the EJB. The only problem is either the configuration of the application server on the external machine or the firewall configuration.
Anyone able to help me see what I am missing?
Thanks
Shawn Clark

not sure what you mean by having a 'EJB listening' on port 6666. Do you mean actually having a socket listening within the EJB code? If so then that is a suspicious EJB activity.
If not then i guess you mean the ORMI listening port of the OC4J application. This is normally set on port 23791 to allow the RMI communication to flow.
