The question is where the firewall is located and where iperf is located? Are they on the same machine or 2 different machines? __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time.

If not the you are going to have to setup the firewall to allow the ports needed to leave the box. Is your inbound rules setup to allow ESTABLISHED,RELATED connections back in? If not again you are going to have to allow this also. __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted
