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 ? ./bernard On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 3:24 PM, Nd'wex Common <flexycat@gmail.com> wrote:

the ip addresses here are not real.
when i try to access the server even by telneting it wont work, where could i be going wrong?
all assistance will be highly appreciated
