That makes sense/

Ok, that's good.

Well, your problem is somewhere around there.

I don't think setting them to a random range will help. It would need to
match an open port range on your assumed firewall.

You'll need to do some more troubleshooting.
Id try the following:
- Start swift as you did before and wait for the job to be submitted
- figure out what port the callback service is on (do a netstat -lntp)
- log into NCSA and see if you can telnet to GLOBUS_HOSTNAME:port. You
probably can't. You'll have to figure out why.
