Siebel remote sync not working with direct access


Recently enabled direct access on our tablet devices. When I connect to direct access, and try to sync our local databases, we get an error

Cannot connect to server. Sync manager may be down. Session timeout.


The sync manager is up and running, and as soon as we connect to Office network using LAN or WiFi or VPN, the sync works fine, but not with microsoft direct access.


ERROR
-----------------------

The error we get there is [TCPIP-client] connect() to <serverhostname.xyz.domain.net>:40400 failed (err=10060 | Connection timed out.)
