Muhamad,

Have the folks at Brown looked at this document?

	http://www.accessgrid.org/agdp/guide/ports.html

My first instinct would be to double-check that *all* the necessary 
ports have been opened up, and to check the other various items 
discussed in this document. AG use behind firewalls is a very tricky 
business indeed.

If no others from the ag-tech "guru cluster" have responded, please take 
heart -- many of us were at the AG Retreat last week in California and 
may not have been in our email much.

Cheers,
Jennifer
