Q: sonicwall and back to my mac

What ports do i need to open in my Sonicwall TZ205 to get back to my mac to work properly. Snowcap like most commercial grade firewall's does not implicitly support upnp, so I need to open ports and enable port forwarding. What ports do I need to open?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Server 3.1 installed

A:

The gateway must support either UPnP or NAT-PMP. Otherwise BTMM won't work.

Thank you for responding, but this really doesn't answer my question, I've tried to use the info embedded in the table of all TCP/UDP ports that apple uses with no success. What specific tcp/udp ports must be opened and forwarded for Back to My mac to work properly.

There is a table in this article which shows what ports Back to My Mac uses.

Sadly, it appears you are correct. I've tried opening the tcp and udp ports listed in the link from Eric (which I have tried in the past) forwarded them to the Mac Pro I specifically need to access externally and as usual, nothing.
