Ok, our firewall team just opened up port 1984 so a client could connect
to our hobbit server.  Well I can telnet to the server from the client
on port 1984,  but Im still getting timeout messages in the
hobbitclient.log,  below is a bb connect with debug on, what am I
missing?
[root at maila logs]# /home/hobbit/client/bin/bb --debug XXXXXXXXXXX
"status xxxxx,xxxxx,net.test green `date`
This is a test"
2007-07-12 08:26:41 Transport setup is:
2007-07-12 08:26:41 bbdportnumber = 1984
2007-07-12 08:26:41 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2007-07-12 08:26:41 bbdispproxyport = 0
2007-07-12 08:26:41 Recipient listed as 'xxxxx.xxxxx.net'
2007-07-12 08:26:41 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2007-07-12 08:26:41 Will connect to address xxxxx.xxxxx.net port 1984
2007-07-12 08:26:41 Connect status is 0
Looking at the sendmsg.c,  Im guessing a status of "0" means it
connected. Hmmmm

Ok, I might have figured it out,  does the Hobbit server need to talk
back to the client on port 1984?  If so, then that is my problem....they
only opened up 1984 to the hobbit server and not back to the client.

Thanks
