Strange problem w/netscreen firewall - GURU's needed

multiband8303

Senior member
Have a website - itiwnet.com - can't access it on one leg of my network

One leg uses a PIX
The other uses a netscreen

My leg via the pix firewall, accesses the site fine - I can telnet into it through port 80 (216.170.53.5) - however on my leg with the netscreen -I cannot - makes me think that in one of my firewalls theres a rule that disables access to this specific address, well....there isn't - basically same rules as the other leg.

Help.
 
So users can access ALL websites except for yours? Strange. Here are a few things you can do:

1. TEST1: From one of the workstations on the NETSCREEN side, try to PING your website and verify the IP it resolves to
2. TEST2: Trace-Route (again NETSCREEN side)-- (tracert on a Windows based machine), example, run a 'tracert www.yourdomain.com', check where it's getting stuck
3. DNS: Are you hosting your own internal DNS server? If so, check for any records which might affect your site. IE: [A] record pointing to the wrong IP
4. RULES: Triple check your firewall rules, since users can access other web site it's VERY possible you might have over-looked something... This has happened to the best of us!

Let me know.
 
1) Ping is fine - resolves ident IP, like I said though I cannot telnet into it through port 80 on the netscreen side
2) Hops on BOTH sides drop at the same place
3) I will have to examine that - I do network admin for multiple companies.....hard for me to remember who we do and who we don't - but that is something I Forgot to overlook, I imagine the DNS on both sides point to the same side - since they join at the same DC
4) Dear god I do not want to review those rules again....but I will - please keep in touch on this thread, I go in lunch now - I will try these out within the next 2 hours and post any new results.
 
Quick thought, are there ANY rules in the firewall for yur web server IP?

Since you can ping it's IP there is something blocking port 80 traffic, (but you knew that already 🙂 ), is there a mail server running on it? Maybe you can try to telnet to port 25 or 110..

Let me know.
 
If you want to post the netscreen rules - goto the config and support page, u can copy it paste here ... and you can remove all the ip or replace it with a.b.c.d.

Great idea!

So both port 443 (HTTPS) and 80 (HTTP) don't work. You mentioned 'as a secured site', are you testing on a Windows 2003 Server box?
Also, on the machine your testing with, set it's DNS to an external source and check the hosts. file.

It REALLY sounds like a firewall issue... Check your rules in the netscreen and in it's GATEWAY (where users are sent after they pass-through the Netscreen).

Also, post ANY additional info you might have access to.
