I read the Configuring NetWork Firewalls for a NetWorker Server document on 
Powerlink... however I still have some questions.

There was a formula mentioned for calculating the service port range.  However, 
that formula didn't include the ports for the NMC running on my NW server, nor 
did it include the ports needed for the Client Wizard.  By my calculations for 
formula should be changed to 11 + 2 * (# devices) + (# jukeboxes + (3 ports for 
NMC) + (1 port for Client Wizard)... is this correct?  Further, what are the 
actual port numbers?  I am confused by this... the database port is 2638, not 
within the service port range.  Therefore, should I open 2638 + 2 additional 
ports in the service range for NMC? 

On the client side... a whole other issue.  The firewall guide states 4 
ports... which 4 ports are not mentioned.  How do you set this up on Windows 
clients?  How about Linux clients?
