[Skunkworks] Port forwarding on Ubuntu

27 Jul 2009

      Good morning people,

I am trying to forward a port in Ubuntu 9.04 (desktop) with no luck. For
example - if I want to open 36850 how would I do so?

I have tried:

ufw allow 36850

and

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 36850 -j ACCEPT

When I run netstat -l i see:

tcp        0      0 *:36850                 *:*
LISTEN

but according to port scans the port is still closed. The router is already
configured for this port.

so is this port open or what?

(oh and for the clowns out there yes I have JFGI already!)
