I have a tricky setup that’s giving me a bit of trouble:
Openfire is installed on a local server behind a firewall, while fastpath webchat is installed on a production server “outside” my domain. My domain is visible from outside at xxxx.dyndns.org. I setup fastpath to xxxx.dyndns.org/xxxx.dyndns.org/PPPP (PPPP=port redirected because of firewall).
Problem is, I can’t see an workgroups…
This setup passes the test-connection.jsp test. If i disconnect Openfire, the production server gives an error and requests I change its configuration. If I set fastpath to openfire.my.domain (real local address)/xxxx.dyndns.org/PPPP it fails to find the server…
Is there any port other then 5222 that should be open between the two servers? Most of my ports are closed.
Funny thing is that if i manualy type the required link, for example:
I think I may be on to the source of the problem. The warn log is filling up with this:

I don’t think local is a good server address
I think it should be my external server, but I can’t find where to configure this…
Upgraded my external server to Tomcat6, same problem.
I noticed that my internal and external servers are trying to comunicate on some random ports (47xxx) which are of course closed by my ISP. I have a very short list of open ports on my firewall (those needed for regular surfing and a few redirected ones like 5222 for Openfire). Is there any other port I should open for Openfire?
I think that 5222 port is only for an incoming client connections, but a server itself can use various (maybe random) ports for its communication. I think i have observed this with tcpview some time ago on my test server.
Every time I lose the groups, I get this error when I test the connection:

It seems that the above error isn’t the problem, since the test-connection.jsp fails even when fastpath works!
From what I can tell, all connections are being made and all packets are passing though my firewall, the only thing is my external server isn’t updating its list of agents properly (regularly/fast enough?).
I tried turning off disconnecting of idle clients and servers, but it dosen’t seem to help…
The firewall was to blame. For some reason “Balancing per host” was enabled for the IM’s rule. That caused the firewall to swap the IMs connection every so often, which in turn caused the external server to loose it’s connection to the internal server.
It’s allways the simplest thing that are overlooked…
I don’t have any firewall. I am in the test environment with server and client sitting next to each other. I have installed it on W2K server. If I give URL as,
