am using none of the above. the issue is i can access my port 3030 or 8080 in my LAN but when i use the public IP to access the same am locked out. i do a port scan 3030 or 8080 on the router they are open and on the firewall they are allowed.

Have you checked your firewall? If you are using RedHat,CentOS or Scientific Linux, iptables and SELinux are up by default and they coud cause you a lot of grief.

Morning Skunkers,

Am in a little dilemma here, I would really appreciate a little help in this and in understanding/ fixing my situation. this may not sound more tech but i believe someone can understand it. i need to access my server through my public IP but all i get is a can't establish a connection to the server at 41.206.34....:3030. on my router all the ports are enabled and a port scan shows they are open. when i ping the server i get a reply and no timeouts. this is getting me more confused,i really cant get it. i tried to turn off the firewall and see if i can connect but nothing at all. Am using server 2008 R2 enterprise edition.

Secondly i did a port scan using mxtool box and this is the result i got.

Status	Port	Name	Result	Time (ms)
	21	ftp	No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34…:21	0
	22	ssh	Success	640
