    Hi
    I thought that forefront  would facilitate file transfers across firewalls since its not TFTP TCP 6891-6900 peer 2 peer anymore.
    But I'm somewhat confused:
    Test Setup:
    User A at home office connects to OCS 2007 R2 Edge remotely, User B in office is connected to OCS frontend server
    B sends file to A -> Forefront on Edge detects it, ok (note: A downloads the file from Edge on TCP 6891)
    A sends file to B -> transfer does not work. It seems that the Edge server tries to download the file from the home user A but fails since
    A sits behind a NAT router).
    So sending out files to remote access users and federated users works, but not sending in files from remote access users or
    between such users with NATting firewalls between.
    Is this supposed to be so?
