It all depends on firewall configuration. Though networker has poor (if it can
be called so) firewall support. It uses tons of TPC/IP ports, rpc as core
communication mechanism,client connects to server even if is backed up by
storage node and so on ...
Only thing that you can configure is high port range that networker negotiates
using rpc.
So you shouldn't really use networker through firewall. In my opinion
networker requirements are blasting big hole in firewall.

I may be wrong so please comment on it.
