[McGraw, Robert P.]
My question is, is the 0.0.0.0 ip address something that I should have to
enter into a firewall configuration to get traffic to pass through?
The IP 0.0.0.0 seems to be blocked my firewall that I am using?
On both firewalls I have my amanda server IP address set in the firewall to
allow any type traffice through. Should this be enough?
Thanks for your reply.
