Browser not connecting anymore to a specified port
 

Hello,
I have a web application on a remote server that responds on the port 444.
On my local PC I have a brand new Mepis.
Everything is fine except this: I cannot connect anymore to my remote application since I installed Mepis. Something is changed but I don't know what it is.
Does anybody know what to check?

Many thanks.

Ciao

You may need to open that port in guarddog.

I did it but the problem is still there :(
:scratch:

Try what does it say?

Well. Right. :scratch: The door is still closed.
For what I understood about guarddog usage I opened it but at the end it does not work and "nmap" confirmed it.

How would you open that port from command line?
I tried
With no succes....

Suggestions? :rolleyes:

Thanks :)

You could try;
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 444 -j ACCEPT
but I have never done just single rules,here is what I just did to get mine to work;

I tried but the port is still closed.
Either before and after a reboot.

Why I'm so lame? :cry:

Turn Guarddog off and try this,no guarantee;
# iptables -F; iptables -t nat -F; iptables -t mangle -F
# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i ! eth0 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
# iptables -P INPUT DROP
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 444 -j ACCEPT
and your not lame
how do you connect to the net eth0 and a cable modem,what distro did it work with,will it work with the firewall off,does the modem have a firewall ect.
