Remote Agent through firewall ports?

We just placed a server on a separate nework that has a backup exec 10 agent on it. What ports do I need to forward THROUGH the firewall to continue to make backups. Is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks in advance,

    Backup Exec Server uses the 10000 port in order to communicate with the Remote Agents using the NDMP protocol. So I'm not sure but aloowing access to that port should be enough.

    Also you can change the port by writing a new line "ndmp 10000" in the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file

    Hope this helps
