Remote admin and Firewall

[idesign]

I'm running 10.4.6 Server for filesharing. No web services, mail, or the such. Anyway, I have the Server Admin tools installed on my client machine (same subnet) so I can administer the services from my desk. Whenever I turn the firewall on, Server Admin loses connection to the server (at my desk), but is fine on the actual server.

What port(s) should be activated to allow remote administration?

Here's a list of commonly-used ports for Macintosh-specific services (not all are Mac-specific, but some are):

Particularly, I would pay attention to SSH, Remote Desktop/Access and ASIP services. There doesn't seem to be any entries for the Server Admin client on that list, but I'll keep digging and see what comes up...

Thanks for the link.

I actually have that (a different version) printed out. It's driving me nuts because I've looked and think I have all the needed ports setup right. I'm just hoping someone will tell me about a little known, but common mistake people make when setting up the firewall.
