i've typed in the following command: service iptables stop After which access from the remote machine it worked quite well netstat indicates that the port 3306 is bound to both loopback as well as the machines actual ip address On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 3:40 PM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:
Possibly you should run the reverse of the iptables on client and server: SERVER:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 3306 -d 202.54.1.50 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.50 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 3306 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
CLIENT:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 3306 -d 202.54.1.50 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.50 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 3306 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
....depending on which is server/client... Can both access each other with iptables -FLUSH ?
