OK I am running webmin on port 10000 and need it avalible from the outside

Webmin is running on the same linux box which is doing the routing

I dont know what to put for port forwording for the SOURCE PORT becouse it changes every time

my firewall has blocked attempts to 10000 becouse the source port was on 55118 and other times the source port may be 55107.....


what should I put as an iptables rule to alow access to TCP port 10000 from the outside to anyone from ANY source port

my router is 192.168.1.1



And another question------
Where are the iptables rules that I enter kept? Where can I go to edit and remove some earler mistakes I may have entered in
thank you in advance! -John

you likely mean DESTINATION PORT.
iptables -i <interface> -p tcp --destination-port 10000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
you SOURCE PORT will be the port the client is using and will not be bound to a specific one, so don't set i at all.

where your saved rules are depend on your distribution and what program you use to set the rules.
