I did think of the java client too and tried it from a different machine that is "known good" (tested with out the firewall in the way) and it failed too. I tried to "open" port 8013 by forwarding inbound (8013) from the red network to that specific machine's IP. I tried w/ and w/o a specific port# on the inside IP. It's a NAT'd network which complicates it more. Ex: inbound:8013 forward -> 10.1.1.30 (didn't work) inbound:8013 forward -> 10.1.1.30:8013 (also tried some random ports on the inside address like 5201, 8000, 3501. None work.) Did I mention this is the first attempt for me to ever forward a port?
