Re: How to open a port in ipchains

In case anyone is still following this thread:

I found one big error; last time I reformatted and re-installed RedHat 7.1 Linux I forgot that I have to apply the ipchains MASQ to ppp0, not eth0.

I now can telnet from inside my firewall to the remote service's port 1494.

SUCCESS !!

It's now working; the problem all along was masqurading the wrong device. Didn't need an ipchains entry except for the MASQ.

Thanks for your help; kept me going.
