Cannot use HTTP, HTTPS and SMTP built in services in firewall rules

I have a FVS336G. Firewall rules with HTTP, HTTPS and SMTP don't work. All my rules with custom services work fine. I can see no entries related to those services in the log.

 

Please advise.

    Hi prosafesucks,

     

    I believe the firewall rules you have mentioned pertains to inbound rules, am I right?  Kindly answer the questions I have summarized below:

     

    1. Is your FVS336G a v1 or v2 v3?

    2. What is the current firmware version of your FVS336G?

    3. Is your FVS336G behind another firewall/router?  You may post a screenshot of your existing network diagram.

    4. Have you tried using an online port checker tool to verify if the ports you have used for HTTP, HTTPS and SMTP are really opened? An example of online port checker tool is http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/network-tools/online-port-scanner.php

     

    I am looking forward to your response.

     

    Regards,
