why not use the command $ iptables -t nat -L to view your iptable. for easier configuration of your iptables, try using webmin. 2009/7/27 Daudi Were <daudi.were@gmail.com>

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!)
