Hello,
We are setting up some point of sale at work.
Apparently the client PCs can't get to the server PC and port 1443
needs to be open.

You haven't said whether it is local traffic or not

It's all local.
Currently just 2 PCs connected to a separate switch (only using 1 router
port), with a couple to add.

If so can anyone assist in opening port 1443 on a Vigor 2860?

Why, if its local traffic?


I know, that's mainly why I asked, i've been told it needs doing by the
folk installing the point of sale, but it makes no sense to me.

If they are all connected to the same switch, and on the same subnet,
then the router does not get a say.

If all on the same switch, and on the same subnet, and there are no
VLANs in use (managed switches only), then the machines should be able
to see each other. The only obstruction that can play a part is the
firewall on each machine.

As a starting test, have you checked that each machine can ping the other?
