Question : Port 10000 problem

Hi all.

I'm using the Cisco VPN client.  When I VPN into the network, I need to connect to an application that is running on port 10000 on a host.

I can browse the host's drives, ping it, etc.  I can do everything fine except connect to the application (it's MAS200), which is running on port 10000.  The host and application is up and running as users in the LAN are able to connect.

The firewall is a Cisco PIX 501.  Is there anything special I have to do to disable some kind of port conflict on port 10000 between the PIX and the VPN client?

Answer : Port 10000 problem

I guess you're also using DNS to resolve names.
Is there a host entry for host_a in your default DNS domain? Given that non existent hosts resolve, I suspect that there is a wildcard address entry (*) pointing to 192.168.1.10 and presenting you with this problem.
