        Hi!
 
                I am using TIS FWTK 1.3 for Solaris 2.5. Everything work fine
        execpet tn-gw from a solaris machine. When telnet to the proxy from 
        sunos machine it works perfect, but when I telnet from solaris machine
        I get the proxy and when I telnet from the proxy to outside it just 
        hangs. 
 
        I have checked the tcp connections established using "netstat" in fact 
        there are connectiones established both ways. But my connection still
        hangs just saying " Trying <ipaddress>....". Once again this happens 
        only if I telnet from solaris machine. 
 
        My theory is that FWTK tn-gw doesn't allow telnet connections with
        port numbers > 32K on the client side. And sure enough solaris uses
        only port #s > 32K for telnet. That's why there in fact a tcp 
        conncetion established but tn-gw doesn't give anything.
 
 
        Am I right? If so, are there any fixes to that problem.
thanks for your help
