Firewall Wizards: Re: WebDAV on Symantec 5400

[Johann_van_Duyn () bat com]

Scott,

Leave it to the pros, man...

Don't muck about with Symantec (or any other) firewalls if you don't know 
what you're doing... rather get an experienced Symantec firewall 
administrator or "engineer" to help you do it.

If the customer has Platinum Support with Symantec, log a call with them, 
and they should be able to advise you... otherwise, try a Symantec 
reseller or services organization. Anyway, if the customer is running SGS 
2.x on their 5400 series product, they really should upgrade to 3.x with 
the latest patches. This also is best left to the professionals.

If you don't know what you're doing with a Symantec firewall, it's 
surprisingly easy to screw things up... and then the firewall gets the 
blame, which is just not fair.

Cheers

I'll try that when I'm back with the client next week.  Symantec 
documentation seems hard to come by.

Thank you very much for your help.
