Problem with ports

[Dungeon-Dave]

Firstly, you may want to find the file containing your ruleset - something like /etc/sysconfig/iptables (for RPM-based distros).

 

Then edit that file and put your entries in there, something like:

Code:

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 14534 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8767 -j ACCEPT

 

My guess is that the "service iptables restart" is restarting IPtables, re-reading rules from that file, flushing out dynamic rules you've just added.

 

To view the current rules, use:

Code:

iptables -L -n | more

(the -n = "do NOT resolve IPs to hostnames")

- may be an idea to spam that output here first, just to show the current rules - curious to know if you've got any OUTPUT rules that are blocking server traffic back to the client.

 

And as Anyweb says: what distro are you using?
