are you checking access rules or filter rules?

access rules for 3.8 are defined in nwadmin32 and apply only to the
proxy services (so web proxy, generic tcp proxies aka reverse proxies,
etc etc)

easiest way to access filter rules is to run filtcfg on the console of
the 3.8 server, but you can review the rules by examining the
sys:/etc/filter.cfg file (bear in mind this is a working copy of the
rules, not the master, so don't bother trying to change it :)

Got it, they are in the filters.cfg as you said. I do not need to make changes just wanted to know what all ports were opened.

Thanks very much!
