How to open a port
 

I am running Red hat Linux 7.1 on a small work-related network. How do I open ports 2047 and 2147. Please be very specific. TIA Biff

If you run setup from a shell you should be presented with a simple menu interface. On that interface you should be able to find the firewall options and open up those ports.

Let me know if this doesn't work.

I you do not have a firewall, then the port is already open. You will need a program to accept information on that port, you can't just send data to the port and expect it to work. So, first of all, make sure you have a program expecting information on those ports. Then once you have that, verify your firewall is open by using 'nmap <hostname>'.

Enjoy.
